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.

Well, I really wanted to do a semi fast run today. My time for 3.89 miles was 36:52 and then my watch stopped working ....and so did I. The worst was that I was sooo tired this morning that I had to rest. I hate taking naps because it messes up my to do list. Of course my kids actually like it when I'm tired because it's much easier to catch a mommy that isn't moving. I lay down in the middle of my beautiful living room...right on top of the oriental rug imported from somewhere that I can't remember (my mom bought it in Russia but I think it was made elsewhere...anyway)...AND I didn't move a muscle while my babies crawled on top of me and I drifted off to rebuild muscle land and felt much better when I got up. 

I probably ran the last mile in about 11:40 is my guess...I slowed down to a crawl..I've got to find a good balance. I don't like being wasted after a run but I guess  a little nap didn't hurt me or the carpet.

Oh I hear ya! I ran a hilly route today and was tired all day. I should have been smart like you and taken a nap! What great kids you have to let you sleep!

Hey I thought Will's name was Willy-Billy-baby-boy! not Willy-baby-boy. You are the only one who can throw "Billy" in there and it not bother me. I hope your run today went well. I will email you the blanket instructions now.
