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 thought for a few seconds about doing 5 today but my laziness one...or maybe my common sense...I have a lot to do when I get home as we all do but I've decided 5 little kids makes me a tiny bit busier with a bit more stressful work than some of you out there....I'm battle weary today....and many days from trying to get things done while my two year old yells at me. He doesn't handle mommy being busy very well but I'm not willing to give up my project time when he's napping to do my chores then so I do them in the morning when he is awake but he is very unhappy that I'm not sitting and entertaining him. I read to him every day before he takes his nap and try to be very patient with him when he's awake but the constant screaming is wearing me out...blah blah blah.

Sasha bought this book about how to be miserable and one of the things in it(it's a joke but the reverse psychology works) anyway...one of the suggestions is to complain about your blessings...I guess complaining about my children falls under that catergory so I won't...just gotta figure out how to be patient when I'm weary..fun fun.

Glad you are finding ways to still get running in with 5 kids and I think Im busy with 1 kid

you are busy...definitely!! Everyone fills their time with something...I just find my days a little bit more packed with more kids and a little bit more stressful with a 2 year old. It will be fun to see if you beat my kids at the next race...I love the little competition you and Jenny have going on..it's fun.
