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 have had a pretty rough week. I've had a lot of rough weeks in my life..this one has just been different. There are some problems in my family that I can't talk about but anybody out there reading this please pray for me and my family.. 

On top of it the little family I'm in charge of has been sick with fevers, tummy aches and one big grand case of Mastitis for Mom...hence the zero miles for today. I will be grateful for the ability to run again next week. I think I'm going to take tomorrow off too and get a really really good rest.

I'm grateful now for the trials I go through in life...mostly because it's a sink or swim operation I've realized. I don't like sinking so I swim and I get stronger and smarter and nicer and everything.

On the bright side of things my baby is turning 1 tomorrow...although I have planned a huge crying fest...I can't believe it went by so fast. He isn't walking yet but he stands for a few seconds and leans towards us thinking about taking his first step.

Oh Sarah, what a lot you have on your plate! I will pray for your family. Oh, mastitis is the worst thing in the world. I hate it! Plus sick kids! :( I know what you mean about your baby growing up. Adam has started flinging himself out of his crib, so we had to put him in a toddler bed. So we finally put that crib away, and I just about cried. This is the first time in 6 years that I haven't had a baby in the house--all rough and tumble little boys now.
