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.

So...the last mile was walking with Luz but I'm gonna count it just for fun. 

I had a pretty normal run today..started out slow...struggled to warm up and then felt pretty good at the end.

Sasha is going to try and figure out a way for me to get on the trail more because running pregnant around the block by myself is getting old and it's way too tempting to just give up when I'm passing my house every 1/3 of a mile....when I'm on the trail however I'll need to bring a cell phone with me ...just in case I get stuck.

I'm still trying to figure out this site so I hope I'm answering your question in the right place. I'm from Texas, in and out of the state for the last 20 years with various companies. Originally from El Paso but went to school at Austin College in Sherman, Texas and a stint at SMU. I lived in Plano and recently moved back to the area in Grapevine (between Dallas and Fort Worth). I know Garland but don't go much to that side of the Metroplex because business keeps me close to the big airport. No place like Texas!

Reading your accomplishments is very motivational! Thanks for your comments!

I still miss it..sounds like you've been all over. I grew up in Garland but had friends from Plano and Dallas because of youth church dances our church held every Saturday. You can answer comments on your site and they will be e-mailed to anyone who posted on your site. Or you can send private messages if you want to talk to just that person. I hope you enjoy the site. My husband has enjoyed watching it grow...and I love all the people it brings into our lives.

Ironman2011 - for future reference, the right place to answer a question is where it was asked. Imagine an outsider reading the blog page and trying to follow a conversation.

There must be something wrong with my instructions. It seems like about 40% of the bloggers have a hard time following them at least for the first few times, and about 15% that have been blogging for a while still are not able to follow them. Any suggestions on how to phrase it better, or maybe use a different color scheme, or font?

Hey Sarah! Wow, I never realized you've been running around your neighborhood. That would be REALLY tempting to stop early. As Brent would say..extra commando points for you!
