| 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: |

| Well..between Mik 'L and Sasha I pretty much had to run more today...but I didn't do that much more. I have to say that I do run fairly fast on my runs and didn't know it. My time was 48:48 (fun). Almost everytime I looked at the Garmin I was running quarters between 2:18-2:25. I was pleasantly surprised to see this. I was hoping to get up to no slower than 2:28 a quarter but I was already there...which I suspected but wasn't sure about because I never took the Garmin with me..yay! | | Comments(4) |

| Well, I've decided to make a break from 4 miles a day and start doing five. Mik'L was right....it is a good time while my mother-in-law is here...for two reasons. She is there to feed the kids when they wake up if they are hungry and she helps with things during the day so I can rest more if I need to. I felt pretty good today...I didn't time it but felt like I did 2:18's again for part of it but probably mostly slower today as I didn't have a watch to push myself. I think for me people can't really push me to run faster..if I'm tired I'll tell them to please slow down...I've got to save some of myself for my day ahead with my kiddos (mostly the 1 and 2 year old wear me down with demands...the older ones are very sweet and helpful).

| did 5 again...felt a bit slower today. My time was 51 something...not too bad considering this is my first week of 5's in about 4 years. I only did 2 every day after Joseph...four kids was a lot and I was still recovering from some thryoid and other health issues. | | Add Comment |

| For a moment I considered not going five but I really wasn't that tired and talked myself into it. I'm so glad I did. I actually got my best time of the week and it felt easier than Monday. I think it was because on Monday I was surprised that I was running 2:18's and didn't do it every time. Today I ran them a little bit more consistently and got a bit faster time. I saw Sasha on the trail and almost demanded that he stop and kiss me(he was in the middle of an interval and all I got was a nod...sigh...) My time was 48:10...felt great. | | Comments(3) |

| Having female issues....so I ran less today plus the bridge that would have let me get to the 2 mile turn around mark that was about 200 meters away had caution tape blocking it off. I've had some problems this week that haven't really effected my running but was up on and off last night and didn't want to push it today..I think the code word some ladies use is Aunt Flo...She's visited me twice this month and it's been rough.

| Today is Jenny's 7th Birthday. She LOVES her birthday and pretty much would talk about it all year if I let her. So everybody get on her blog (fastrunningJenny) and wish her a happy one..okay? I either ran really fast today or turned around early....although I'm almost certain I was pretty close...within a 100 meters...my time was 45:59. I tried to run fast and felt like I was going pretty good...I'll ask Sasha if he thinks I ran around too early. | | Comments(3) |
