Running Accomplishments:

I ran the Top of Utah Marathon in 4:43 after having my third child the year before. 5 K in 24:19, 10 K in 53 minutes pregnant. Survived personal training from my lovable but slightly overbearing husband Sasha for more than 8 years!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 23:45 in the 5k.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay thin and full of energy.

Not be an embarassment to my family full of world class athletes.

Personal:

Madly in love with Sasha. We have been married since 1996 and have been blessed with seven of the most adorable and talented children : Benjamin, Jennifer, Julia, and Joseph, Jacob, William and Stephen.

All of our children have run in at least one race, including Jacob and William who did it inside the womb. I enjoy various non-running activities such as: baking, sewing, playing organ, piano and flute, painting, and playing with our vivacious children.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.25	0.00	2.25

I am going to try and slowly build my mileage up to three a day. I felt good last week and hope I won't have any more exhausted days for awhile. I can' t take care of my kidlets when I'm wiped out and I hate it. I hate letting them watch TV so I try to avoid that too.

Although I think we may start up our nut cracking factory this week and watch a few good movies to pass the time. We always end up with oodles of free nuts every winter and my kids love help cracking them. Okay...Benjamin usually does most of the work but the other ones like feeling like they are helping out and getting to watch a movie. :)

Do you watch the nutcracker while you crack nuts? :)

Good luck on upping your mileage.

Is Sasha going to run Painter's?

We're still talking about Painter's..have to decide if 1. I'll let him leave me alone with 6 kids to go. or 2. I'll go with six kids and be left alone away from home...looking like a lose win either way so I'm not sure....

Let me know what you decide. If he does go (and you don't) I was thinking it would be a good day for me to come down and run in Provo and help you wrassle youngsters.

Yes..if he goes and I'm home that would be a good day for some help. I'll let you know what we decide. :)

We used to do stuff like that as a family. We'd help pit cherries for canning while my mom read to us. It's a sweet memory. Working together at least as bonding as playing together.

Good job on your running!
