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 felt really strong today. I actually ran the first mile pushing the stroller and it didn't bug me. The last two miles felt great. It would have been the perfect run except for the dogs that got out and ran after me. They seemed like pretty nice dogs except that even nice dogs have teeth. I screamed at them. (my best form of self-defense...I have a great loud piercing soprano voice)  The owner came out right away and looked like a nice responsible type of lady so I felt bad that I screamed at her nice dogs with teeth....kinda....

So nice to read that you are feeling strong today!! A welcome break. Keep that up until Tuesday will ya? I ran with Marion today. It reminded me of our summer runs where, oops, how did I just run 13 miles without noticing? Dogs that run after you with teeth deserve mace, that's what I always say. I'll get you a can. Although, I'm sure they appreciated that high G.

yay for Marion..isn't she a gem? I'll be forever grateful to Sasha for starting this blog and bringing fun people like you and Marion (among other great ladies of course) into my life :)

I've been waking up at 7 on my own these last few days so 6 once a week really should be no problem at all. ;)

Glad you are making progress! I was almost going to suggest you run with me today. :-)

Yeah to a great day! And do not feel bad about the dogs, if they are not on a leash or behind a fence, they deserve to be yelled at. Dogs scare me!
