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.

i guess running slow yesterday paid off. I felt great today. Now when I say great...I still had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath. I've noticed I have to do this and then I can start again and feel fine. I'm trying to tweak things so I don't have to do this but it keeps me running. 

In other news. I'm getting my ultrasound tomorrow so we may have an announcement....It will either be a Mary or a Bill. Mary is the name that Sasha's mom would have named him if he was a sweet docile black haired female type thing. Instead she got him and just slapped on whatever name she could think of at the time...Just kidding. Alexander is his real name and I think it's a family name too...ooops I guess I should know that.Okay I just asked and he said it was her grandpa.  Everyone named Alexander in Russia goes by Sasha unless they are famous and have conquered something.  

Bill is for a very dear friend who was a lawyer in Moscow and put pressure on the Embassy workers in order to help Sasha get a Visa to come over. He also sponsored him for a year or so. We are forever indebted to him. Literally Sasha would not have been able to come to America and make the life he desired for himself and his family.  So we decided awhile ago to eventually name a boy after Bill...so we'll see who this little delight in me turns out to be....Mary or Bill. The kids are very excited.

Wouldn't it be fun if it turned out to be Mary AND Bill?! Double your pleasure, double your fun! Exciting day ahead! Mary or Bill will be a lucky little child to join your fabulous family!

How exciting! I can't wait to see what you are having. I hope it is a girl, for Adam, remember? He he. William is such a nice boy's name, though. It would be a shame to waste it.

Good job on your running!

Well even though I thought I was more sick and so it might be twins...I'm actually smaller than I've ever been (except with Benjamini) and so chances are slim for a double surprise.

If it isn't a girl I will definitely have more motivation for a number 7 but that may be too long for Adam to wait. Thanks for your support girls..I'll write in the blog shortly after we find out....maybe I'll make Sasha put it in the announcement section...or I guess I should save that for when the baby actually comes...hmm....

Yeah! Wow, your baby is growing so fast! At least to me :) Goodness, take a break for a couple weeks and suddenly fetuses become babies....
