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.

good run just me and my girls...had a fun day at the ward memorial day breakfast and ate way too much junk. Then we got to go play inside our neighbor's teepee. They are native americans that my boys are FASCINATED to live next door to.

must still be digesting the junk from yesterday...or maybe I caught a touch of the flu everyone has had lately. I still did 4 but needed a few walking breaks for pregnancy issues.  Mary came and another lady from the ward who by mistake told Sasha she wanted to start running again....I don't think she knew what she was getting into...I'll knock on her door for a few times but I'm not into being pushy like my other half. ;)

I was totally sick all day yesterday. I take naps..occasionally..but I'm really not into naps..I like sleeping at night and getting on with my day.  Well..yesterday I slept for about 3-4 hours and then was zonked all night. It was definitely some kind of flu..but good news is I felt perky this morning and had a really good day today.

tough run today..must still be recovering from the tummy troubles. I felt great yesterday and had kind of a crazy day. We started a chess club for our kids this summer and made an open invitation on a homeschool website. I thought Sasha had it covered so I didn't feel bad about getting there 10 minutes late. Little did I know that chaos reigned at home..without Sasha and a roomful of strangers in our living room waiting for the promised chess club. Sasha had taken off to get a friend, not realizing we had a bunch of other people coming. Joseph and Jacob had been extraodinarily naughty..throwing their blankets and torn up junk mail all over the just cleaned living room. I, of course, being the social diva I am, handled it all beautifully and didn't strangle any children. I was tempted, however, when one of the supposed chess participants kept whining to me for water..and not just any water...he wanted it filtered and chilled to be sure...

Good run. Mary went with me for most of it and got me going at a good pace. I am very grateful to have a partner that is a natural athlete and doesn't need to fight to go my pathetic little pace. Even my prego pace is hard for those completely out of shape.

I made myself a hot sling the other weeks and then discussed the pros and cons of different slings with my friends who are baby gear gormets ...they know they top brands and the ins and outs of all the latest and greatest. I'm not into that because Sasha isn't into me spending money. Although he will save up and buy quality items..it's just different than what they are into..don't know...

I'm also starting on a baptism dress for Julia. My last project with the remants of my wedding dress fabric. My sister did a superb job on making my wedding dress so many years ago. With the leftover fabric I've concocted two blessing outfits..one for a boy and one for a girl and will now finish off with a beautiful baptism dress. Too bad I probably won't be able to squeeze into my wedding dress on Julia's big day since I will probably have some postpardom pounds still on me. :)
