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 so love running with Luz...she is such an energizing person. I always always can run faster (BTW Luz...I felt fine on the second half so no guilting) and I really feel energized after a run with her. She is a fabulous conversationalist and it is pretty much the perfect start to my day..I think everyone should sign up for turns to run with her!!

We went after Sasha came home so he was the adult presence in the household. The 5 year old however is the one that best takes care of the 2 year old. I don't think Sasha could take care of him if he wanted to. She is so on top of every demand that he has...it was very wise of Heavenly Father to send another baby to this house...I've got almost more help than I know what to do with between my two little girls.

You are so blessed! After my 6th, I was having a hard time with depression and later told my girls and my husband, that their willingness to take care of the home and little ones litteraly saved me during that time. They were so good to do SO much around the house and with the three little boys, that I could focus my energies on the baby and holding my little strands of sanity together as I healed and recovered. I hope someday they will really know how much they blessed my life. It sounds like your girls are ready and willing to take care of you too :)

I do feel very blessed. This is the first time I'm not terrified of the chaos the first few weeks brings.

I generally suffer pretty extremely for the first two or so weeks with severe adrenal fatigue..I cannot function past nursing the baby..which I do quite well...Sasha is very good to help but he misses details that I know my two little helpers will pick up on. They will know when Jacob (the 2 year old) just needs to cuddle or is saying " cup" and needs some water. Sasha is good at big ideas and pushing through things but he misses little details in a lot of things in life. Gotta love em!!

Men are WONDERFUL, but (and this a little one) they do miss some of the things that are very obvious to us. Again, it is a VERY good thing our children have two very different parents :) I think it ensures that most of the kids will survive :D I will help tomorrow with the kids for sure!! I thought the race ended at the park at maple and main. I will check and if it is not the case I will post it to your blog :) See you in the morning!
