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.

felt strong today..I've been cleaning out my laundry/storage room today and arguing with my mother-in-law about why I don't care that the contractor didn't make a ceiling in the crawl space to cover the insulation

I felt really good starting out so I tried adding a fast section..wore me out a little bit so I had to walk for a few feet but overall I think I'm really close to completely adjusting to the new form..wish I could run faster..but need to be smart too.

I biked 4 miles and that was enough..it was dark and scary and I was to nervous to really go fast because I couldn't see where I was going at all...next time I'll go the other way on the trail ..more stores and apartments= more light.

I was so tired this morning from my late bike ride..I had to stop several times. Luckily my great little body kicked in and gave me some awesome endorphins. Gotta love that runner's high ..especially after you've worked hard.

So Sasha and I have been tweaking my form lately and on my run today I decided that it was the first time that I ever actually ran..instead of overstriding  and working against the pavement and used the pavement to propel me forward..no more shuffling..I can run faster this way with less fuss..which is what Sasha was trying to tell me all along..he is wise and he is kind and I think I'm probably pretty lucky to have this wonderful man for my husband..thanks honey!!
