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.

Made it to all 5 today. I feel like I can handle running around the block, pregnant and by myself if it isn't cold and dark. I'd still love to go on the trail but I don't have the heart to make his running partners run around the block....so I do it. :)

Congrats on your miles. I had read before you were running around the block, and thought that would make me insane. You are dedicated. Why does one of the two of you have to run around the block?

i can't get up early enough to go before Sasha leaves and he runs from about 6-8. I can't run after 8 because I'm hungry and I'm much better at managing the children...getting them to do their chores and start their schoolwork. So, I get up a little after 6 when the children are still asleep and Sasha is about to leave with all of his running friends and start running around the block checking on the kids when it gets closer to 7 to make sure they are still asleep. They usually sleep until about 7:45....

I'm dedicated because if I don't run my nervous system goes askew. I have insomnia if I don't exercise this body of mine and I'd rather sleep and feel good...so I run. It also keeps me skinny and young looking.
