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.

uneventful 2....I'm just trying to run as slow as I can now so I can make it through the rest of my day.  

I'm thinking of trying to rope my brothers and sisters into pitching in to buy my Mom a nice piece of jewelry for Christmas. She likes sparkly things. Have any of you ever bought one of those Mother's rings with everyone's birthstones on them? Maybe if I can't talk them into it for Christmas, I'll start working on them for Mother's Day.

I was given a necklace once that has 3 tiny (1 cm diameter) rings on it - as in, the chain goes through three rings. Each ring is embedded with the birthstones of my husband, my daughter and myself. I absolutely treasure it. So I'm sure anything of that sort will be well received.

Good work on getting a run in, however slow.

Yes i bought a mothers ring for my mom about 9 years ago. She lovd it and wears it everyday. I think if your looking for something that will have sentimental value, that would be it. I think it would be a great Christmas gift, but if you can't do it then Mother's Day is the next best day! I bought the ring at ZCMI for about $200 but it was worth it. (I know ZCMI is closed now so options will be different)
