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 much for a week of three's...an incredible thing happened last night..William and I both slept through the night..I feel good today..got a little bit of nervous energy I think from not being used to feeling good. 

I entered my kids in an art contest today. It was fun to look and see entries that were from weird to adorable and even a couple that looked like they should be in a museum and made you wonder 1. How much money the parents spent on the frame (I spent 1.50 and they are cute frames) 2. How much they paid for private art lessons.   I hope they look at those ones and think before making them first place. I think children's art should look a little goofy..and from a child's heart..not Monet or Renoir copies at the age of 5..come on.

How did the art contest go? I used to babysit a couple of kids that had incredible talent even as youngsters - it ran in their family. I sometimes would ask them to sign their pictures and keep them and display them - just natural perspective that is incredible.

I think everyone is an artist personally..everyone is..Julia is the one that draws the most. Benjamin specializes in trees. We'll see how it goes. It's hard to tell with that type of a contest how the judges will decide..is it the nice frame that catches their eye but they don't realize it..I really really hope not. :)
