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.

I woke up in a bad mood. (I am actually usually perky...even at 5:45 when I wake up) I am happy for another day. But last night Jacob kept me up and I guess that got me up on the wrong side today.

Then I had to face running alone today...I've gotten so spoiled and I dread being alone for 5 miles...it's just a long time.

So two cats fighting, one scary giant iceberg sculpture on the fence of some creative souls in the trailer park, two icy puddles that soaked my left foot and two yapping dogs that escaped through the fence made me decide to cut my run short today and try to run with the girls in the afternoon. Fun fun....

Added a little bit by myself and with the Julia. Luckily I had a play/homeschool date set up with my friend Yulia who is totally laid back and great to be around and help you cheer up.

Sasha teasing me about the dogs didn't help my mood. Although he did give me some good advice that I think will help me not overreact in the future. He basically told me that most dogs are not taught to attack people and will run away from you if you scare them off. I guess I should only fear for my life if I run into a pit bull or the likes.

It's not fun when your day starts off bad. You've then got to fight that tone for the rest of the day. Sorry! Hope your run in the afternoon goes well...and that your day gets better!

I can sympathize with the dogs. Ihave had my fare share of them barking and growling at me! Hope that your day got better and your back to perky now!
