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.

What is up with  my crazy body?? Yesterday I felt great...so much energy. Today I needed oxygen or something....I felt 85. I ran two very slow miles this morning and never got my energy back until we had a hearty dinner of meatballs and buckwheat...yum...my kids told me it was the best dinner they'd had in a month.

Then I ran 2 more miles after I dropped the car off at the car shop ....felt pretty lousy but I wasn't surprised...I guess I'm paying for a tempo run yesterday and a great race on Saturday.

So....should I start blogging my organ practice in here like Lybi's piano notes??

I am the ward organist in our little area here in Provo. That means I have the responsibility to prepare three to four hymns 3 Sundays a month..the other organist only plays once...no fair but they are trying to give me more experience...or more heart attacks.

I don't like playing in front of people. I always called myself a closet piano player...didn't want anyone to know that I could do it. So of course Sasha has to tell the bishopbric in this ward that I play the organ (our first Sunday there). By the first ward activity I had a new calling.

I practiced 25 minutes today...worked on a prelude number and  two of the hymns for next Sunday.

I was also working on a T-shirt design for my mom and dad today. I had all the kids smear their little hands with fabric paint and plaster their handprints on shirts for my parents. I'm gonna write a message that says, " Hands Down...World's Greatest Grandma/ Grandpa.

I've noticed that I feel more tired the day after running well, too. That's why I usually do 3 miles one day, 2 the next.

Blog your organ practice if it'll help you do it. I'll care! I need to get off my duff and start putting in more serious practice time. I just ordered some awesome new music--can't wait to get started on it.

You know what I really need to blog is when I get to bed. I really need help reigning in the old bedtime. I got into a bad pattern of staying up late when James was gone and I'm still not back to normal. They say it takes 3 weeks to develop a good habit. But somehow it only takes 3 days to acquire a bad one!

Cute T Shirt design. I keep waiting for someone to make a "Short Pride" T shirt. I know I'd buy one! On the back--picture 3 short stick figures carrying a tall stick figure with the moving slogan "Short People Unite!"
