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.

Three again....looks like Felicia is hooked...she came again. I'll have to pow wow with her and make sure she really does want to go every day. So far so good.

Good day. I didn't feel as tired as yesterday and Felicia came again. My kids actually did behave better yesterday than normal. Not as much fighting or whining as on the bad days with them. I got ambitious and made what for me was a fancier meal for lunch....see my recipe blog for details.

Felicia came again. I'm having a great time having a partner ...whenever she can make it. It was hard sometimes during my pregnancy to run alone. My legs would kill me for the first 2 miles of my run and then loosen up and feel okay again...so I kept going. 

Running now feels so great after that experience. I'm not exhausted all of the time anymore and I'm starting to scheme and dream and feel like  a human being again.

I watched this Nova show last night on Fractal Geometry. I've always disliked math because to me it was just a bunch of numbers that hurt my head..who cares if it could harness the secrets of the universe...Fractal Geometry is different...it's math that explains the beauty of the natural world...shapes that couldn't be explained by the square, triangle, circle world of geometry. It calculates the in between shapes with a very simple idea of self renewing shapes or that they are the same shape repeated again and again. Look at a tree..it repeats the same basic shape of branches from the largest branches to the smallest...same thing inside a human body and in millions of other applications.  It was very fascinating.

My baby slept so well and is still sleeping..but I'm full to the brim with milk. My run still went well thanks to attire from Nordic Track. My two year old looked and me and told me I looked pregnant...pregnant with milk I guess...and my 8 year old who is hitting puberty early...acck..said she was glad she's not THAT big!  I tried waking him by undoing his wrappings (I usually swaddle him and unswaddling often immediately awakens him)..but he's still snoring..literally..he snores...it's cute. 

Felicia came and seems to be on a roll..she keeps asking me if I'm going tomorrow..yay!!

With Sasha at Painter's I didnt' get my run in...I'm pre-blogging because I know Sasha will insist I get out this evening while he "watches" the kids. 

I'm not feeling motivated to get out tonight but Felicia might go with me so that should be fun. I had a nice relaxing day chatting with Maurine. She was really sweet and came to hang out with me today so I wouldn't be alone while Sasha was racing..also very nice because Sasha took two of my best helpers with him...leaving me alone with all of the little ones. We just sat around and talked while I nursed and it was heavenly. Thanks Maurine!!
