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 got up on time, felt good and was excited to see my partner this morning after confirming it at church yesterday....but alas...she wasnt' there. I think I'll keep trying with her just because I think it's good for her to be thinking about exercising everyday and maybe eventually she'll be able to make it a habit to get up on time. She said at church that her baby was up alot last week and that makes it really tough to get up. 

William wakes up sometime between 3-5 and I nurse him in bed and we fall back asleep together.  So I think I'm getting enough sleep to wake up early.

I am just hoping to lose some weight pretty soon. I'm not used to being over 130 and I don't like it.  I'll be happy with 146 (just threw that number out) for awhile and slowly get back to my normal weight but I've got a few pounds to go just to get in the 140s...phew....

Sarah - if I come down to the race on Wednesday afternoon, would you want to do your two miles after the race with me?

Hey - here is a food idea for you. I was eating my whole wheat kernels for breakfast the other day and someone suggested boiling the wheat in apple juice instead of water because it adds flavor. I didn't have apple juice, but I used orange juice for today and it makes it very tasty.

cool..I like that..O.J.

If you came down on Wednesday I'd love to run with you. We have a party to go to straight after the race so it would be best for me to run either before or during the race since we'll probably take off right away to go back to Salt Lake. I'm sure we can figure out how to squeeze in 2 miles. Let me know on Tuesday so I don't run Wed morning. :)

Are you going to race on Wednesday?

We could warm up together or you could push me to run faster during the race.

Sasha just told me that you went smokin fast on your time trial!! Are you so excited? I can't go 9 min pace yet. I think we could warm up together at my slow pace and then I'll cheer you on!!

Thanks! I did good on the treadmill, but I have a problem I need to learn to conquer and that is going fast off of the treadmill.

Warming up together sounds like a good plan. Maybe you can psych me up!
