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've only actually run 1 but I'm blogging now because things are mostly quiet. 

Has anyone seen the doghouse commercial from JCPenny? My friend told me about it but I have a dumb computer and can't load things like that. She said there were a bunch of guys in trouble with their wives for bad presents like an exercise bike...I might like that but I guess it's not romantic. Sasha said he'd get me a jungle gym for my birthday?!? That was supposed to be for the kids. I wanted pretty serving dishes...I guess I'll have to do my own shopping this year. Anwyay...who buys a swingset in December?

LOL, Sarah - I can relate. Back when my kids were small and loved waffles, my husband bought me a waffle iron for Christmas. I pointed out that it was the KIDS who loved waffles and now I had to make them and clean the waffle iron and he couldn't understand why I didn't think it an ideal present.

My mom's friend works at a plastic surgeon's office and can't believe the number of men who come in to buy gift certificates around Christmas time. She wants to tell them that may not be the best gift, but doesn't want to turn away business for the doctor!

As for the jungle gym, I suppose it might come in handy for doing pull-ups or something?

He did so good last year...and has done very well on many anniversaries and Christmases..mother's days and Valentine's that I can't complain. Of course I wouldn't mind if he suddenly became a romantic wonder but I think I'll be very happy with what I have. He loves me.

He was writing a book a couple of years ago(his first out of two that have been published) and I teased my friends that he was writing a romance novel..you should have seen some of their faces, "What....Sasha?"

Wait - is Sasha the one who wrote a book about MySQL?

From sarah on Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 16:16:25

Yea..the romantic one in the computer section at Barnes and Nobles. Actually the only part that I can understand is the beginning where he acknowledges his wonderful family and wife..I guess that could be considered romantic.

How do you know about it? Are you in the computer industry?

From tarzan on Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 16:27:37

OK - Now I understand about you having a Linux computer. Sasha must be an open source type of guy.

Yeah - I run the database for my company and our next version of our main application is being developed with a MySQL database, so am teaching myself it. I remember seeing the book, but it is not one I have bought yet. However, I will be using MySQL Enterprise next year and will probably be picking it up. (Maybe I can get it autographed LOL).

They were talking about that commercial on the radio the other day! I had forgotten about it. I need to go see if I can find that!

Hope you had a great weekend.
