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.

I don't know if getting up early every day is good for me or not. I'm okay most of the time but I don't always have the stamina I need to get me through my day...my kids are okay mostly it's just going from activity to activity and having to fight my four year old to obey me...that wears me out more than anything else. Maybe I should sleep in some days and run around the block when I wake up later?

It's amazing though that the actual running does make me feel better. It seems I'm more tired and achy on Sundays from not running.....anyway...I'll figure it out but I just need to figure out how to stay sane while I take care of all my babies..including Sasha.

BTW, Sasha was really sweet when he got home on Saturday and tried to take me out for a date....I wasn't feeling up to going out for some reason and convinced him to take the girls out instead...they deserved a Daddy daughter date and had a fun time. :)

I'm glad you feel a little more positive about Saturday - but you probably do need more alone time with Sasha.

If I came down early for the race on Saturday and watched the kids - maybe he could save a couple of miles and run with you for a change.

The prophet says, go on weekly dates (the husband wife variety, not kid). So you guys better obey ;)

Ha!! That's right Michelle...give Sasha a kick in the pants for me!! We were really good for awhile. We paid a babysitter and went out at least twice a month but at the end of my pregnancy and with William being little we got out of the habit.

You are so sweet Maurine. I'd love for you to spend some time with some of my kids so we can make some of his races family time too. We are definitely going out for Valentines...we already have plans for that one. Poor guy though..I'm the dozen roses and candlelight dinner type....he is so simple and practical. Once I joked with a friend when he was writing his first MySQL book that he was writing a romance novel..she was like, "WHAT? Sasha!"
