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 ran a bit extra today. I wanted to go more but William was awake at home with Benjamin and I didnt' want to leave him too long. My legs felt tight and my back felt a little sore.

I am excited because I got to do a little bit of dishes and laundry today. Crazy how much we miss our normal schedule. I have enjoyed the break and will still take it fairly easy this week and probably be back to everything but sweeping, mopping and vacuuming in the next week or two. I have to get one of my kids to vacuum downstairs today because it has reached a new low and it's driving me up the wall. Sasha claims that it doesn't look that bad and I can't get him to touch a vacuum cleaner...maybe I'll beg him tonight because I really hate looking at it and not being able to do anything about it.

Tell Sasha it is good core training for marathoning. If you can carry and deliver and nurse the baby, he can clean the house for a while.

Woo-hoo!!! .7 is awesome, you are great!! Who knows how far you would have gone.

Yes, it is time for you to get some help with the vacuuming! Kids can do it, just make sure they do not vacuum up any Legos or Barbie shoes or worse!!!
