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.

William had to nurse from 7 to 10 straight last night...When he sounded like he was going to wake up again around 11 I grabbed my blankies and headed to the guest room downstairs. Sasha promised to take care of things and get me when he was tired.

Well...this morning my 6 year old Julia tells me that William woke her up this morning (around 4) and she had to wake her Daddy up because he was sleeping through it.

Great...so much for my  husband baby monitor.

I felt okay on the run. Still going slow. I try to start out at about 12 minute mile pace and then slow down when I get tired. I picked the pace back up at the end and felt like I could keep going. That is a very important feeling because I do need to keep going when I get inside.

William is going to be blessed tomorrow. I'm so excited to put him in his overalls and little white shirt from Kelli and take pictures. Of course I'm also excited to welcome him into the world with a name and blessing from the holy priesthood that his Daddy holds.

Oh, I so hope that the baby blessing went well and can not wait to see those adorable overalls you made!

After having five kids, I have yet to figure out why a man was blessed with the ability to sleep through a crying baby every time?!? Men never seem to hear a thing. I know the mother is the nurturer and it is mainly our job to take care of the little things, but it would be nice for them to hear just a few of the night time wake-ups before we do and take care f them without th mommy even so much as half way opening an eyelid! I guess it is just the way it goes...but after 5 kids I am still trying to regulate my sleep and I wonder if my sleeping will ever return to "normal!!"

I was grateful I could sleep while nursing. Just rolled over when the baby woke up and plugged them in again!

Hope the blessing went well. Any name changes occur during the blessing?

It was a wonderful blessing. The spirit was beautiful and many people in our ward were touched by it.

The overalls looked perfect. He filled them out just right and the little white shirt was perfect too.

I told my children before we left that Daddy would be blessing him as William and not Billy Bubbles (he likes to blow bubbles to entertain himself)

Billy Bubbles! I love it, that is a great nickname!

I am glad it turned out perfectly for your family!
