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.

The wettest run of my life. Somehow I've been lucky all these years and never gotten soaked to the bone. It was interesting to experience what I've seen happen to Sasha many many times. I felt okay...my legs were fresh. I'm a little tired now but Sasha is going to go with us to the library today so that should help.

Excellent point about the Garmin. I've tossed around the idea for about 3 years. But it seems like a waste on a recreational runner like myself (not dedicated to really improving as much as to just keep going). But on long pre-marathon runs it is nice to know the difference between 17 or 19 miles and my brain gets so fuddled I can't count right (lets see 9 minute miles for two hours and fifty minutes is....? how much?).

So you were running in the rain huh? That's dedication, pregnant and running in the rain- my hero!

It wasn't too bad when I started out just a drizzle but once I was going I didn't feel like stopping just because I was wet. I've seen Sasha come home that wet so many times. He always walks in laughing and says (in Russian) that he is a wet chicken...guess that's funny in Russian...it's pretty cute.

The only problem with wet chickens is THEY STINK!

So glad you were able to bear the run in the rain. It's actually kind of fun if it isn't too cold and windy!

I guess I haven't been around wet chickens too much but Sasha usually smells better after a rainy run.

Of course, where I live it rains a lot. My husband calls me a duck! I love to run in the rain. It is so refreshing. Lately, we've had so much thunder and lightning, it's been impossible to get out there. Also with my back hurting, I can't afford to slip at all! So no rain running for me right now. I am a bit jealous of your running in the rain.
