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!!

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.

Ran slow by myself on the trail today.

I was kind of scared to go out in the dark by myself. I've gotten so used to having a partner. So near the end of my run when I saw a large group of people ahead of me and the mouth of the trail I kind of panicked and wondered if it was a group of teenagers looking for trouble...what a laugh when I passed by a group of adult runners stopping to chat before they went for a run together. Wished I'd had some of them earlier on my run.

Oh Sarah, running alone in the dark is no fun! I get a little jumpy sometimes too. I feel better now that I have some pepper spray, though. Do you have any? You can get it anywhere (I think I got mine at Wal-Mart for $10 or so.)

Agreed- I need some pepper spray too. Too bad we don't live closer to run together! Good job hitting the trails solo!

Oh brother, I typed a nice long comment, and moved the mouse an inch and my comment disappeared. Anyway, I hear ya'll. I could use some more bloggers up my way. Guess I need to recruit.

Great job getting out there by yourself Sarah. You are brave and dedicated.

I'm actually more afraid of dogs than people...had many more problems with them. I've developed a nice irritated attitude towards pet owners who let their dogs protect the front yard without a leash on. There was this one little yappy dog that was always outside nipping at my heels for months. I learned to pick up a stick nd threaten the dog with it...I'm too wimpy to actually kick dogs like James but maybe he could offer a class to the running community...Dog Kicking 101

Sarah, you have had your share of running problems the last few weeks. May the sun shine always when you run. Nice for you to get out and do some sole and body be good miles.

Stay Cool, B of BS Rools out
