| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Eventful 4 miles alone. First I had to deliver some borrowed tomato cages to my neighbor..that took a few minutes..About a mile into the run I came upon one of my old fears..a dog..alone with nobody around to call him off. I HATE stray dogs..they have bigger, scarier teeth than dogs on a leash or at least with someone nearby. I chickened out and turned around. Then I saw some guys going about my pace and turned back around and followed them..at least if it was a mean dog he'd probably go for them first..or they could protect me. Okay..so it was a perfectly nice dog but when I'm all by myself I don't want to take any chances. Then next event happened at what we call the rooster house. I decided to turn around there today because the tomato cage adventure made my run a little shorter. As I was turning around I noticed two teeny tiny boys maybe 1 and 2 outside in their jamies by themselves. No biggee...except there was a pool outside full of plenty of water to drown in that they could almost fall into..tough call. Do I go bang on the door of this probably totally responsible Mom(from the look of the yard and the house very nice people live there) or do I let the kids possibly drown? I stopped some other ladies for advice and decided to go knock on the door. As I was running away to go around the corner of the trail to get on the street I notice a dog appear in the backyard..he follows the babies to the front yard...Is this the babysitter? Can dogs babysit? Well, he wasn't there at first and I guess the parents sent him outside to watch the kids..I chickened out and went on my merry way praying that I wouldn't see a scary headline later today.

| Sasha made me grab the watch today. He has a new theory that if you train slower than 10 min mile pace adding miles won't improve your overall performance as quickly as sub 10..makes sense. I've heard some miles referred to as "junk miles" by elite runners. I know for some of us just making it off the couch and out the door away from family and responsibilities is a major accomplishment in and of itself. That said, today I tried to run faster... in the past I usually have trained around 10..that seems to be my comfort zone when I'm in my best shape. Still getting back there. My first 2 miles were in 20:40 and then I slowed down and then I picked it up at the end. Feel pretty good..a little tired...making dinner for a friend that had a baby now. :) | | Add Comment |

| Mr. Billy woke up and so I pushed him for 3 miles..I was hoping I'd find Sasha and Jeff coming back but they started late and went the other direction so I was stuck doing all 3 miles with the stroller....1 more mile after William fell back asleep with Julia. | | Add Comment |
