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.

If you divide my time by two I went really fast today...I'm still struggling with the sore legs. Funny but my legs feel better at the end of my run. I'm going to start taking magnesium and see what that does for me. I really want to keep doing 5 for as long as possible but pushing through the first part is wearing me down. 

I got to do over half my run on the trail today because Sasha offered to run around the block for part of his run. What a gentleman.

I miscalculated a little bit at the end again. My legs were sore for 4 miles today instead of the usual 2.5 or so...Felt great the last mile.

Yay!! My legs didn't feel like they were horribly sore today. Maybe the magnesium I took the other day helped. I bought some pure magnesium at good earth and not knowing what I was doing downed the stuff straight. It mildly suggests on the back to take it with water......They should have put a warning label that said, " Warning: Burns like heck and some other things if you don't take with water!!!" ...or something like that. It burns....ouch...definitely needs to be watered down for human consumption.

Great day...no leg complaints at all really. Ran under 59 minutes...which is great for me these days.

Sasha and I knew it would kind of mess up my run for me to go to the Heart of Holladay...but I really wanted to see some of the bloggers...be out in the morning sun with my kids...and cheer everyone on. I was happy to see the people I did and so happy that Kim got into St. George
