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.

Met a lady on the trail today that I pass all the time..one of those sweet beautiful dear grandmother types. She asked how my baby was doing (she saw me running pregnant) and innocently asked if it was my first? I patted her on the arm and said.."No..my sixth!" She said I should tell people I'm 23 and not 33. 

I get that alot..don't mind of course. I also always have people thinking they know me from somewhere and I've come up with the perfect comeback. "Whoever she is must be beautiful!"

Running is the fountain of youth, or so I have been told! You do look young!!!

Have a good day, glad to hear all is going well.

Good for you! I love it when I finally know the name of someone I see all the time. However, I hate it when I occasionally forget their names later. I also wouldn't be surprised if you were with your kids and someone thinks you are the older sister. "What grade are you in, Honey? Fun, fun.

Maybe when my kids are teenagers I'll have my second childhood and people will think I'm one of their friends..Luz (LuzyLew) is always saying she thinks I'll be this freespirited 50 year old that wears quilted moo moos. :)

Your comments made me smile! And you inspire me. If you can get out and run, so can I since I am your age but only have two kids!
