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.
Okay my trick on my brain worked...I am ready for another month of winter. ..but come March. It's making me really look forward to our trip south in Feb....
I hope that it works for us all, that you get ready for all of us, we are going to need it to get through the next couple of weeks!!! Thanks for that possitive attitude!!
For some reason I just had to get January out of the way! The cold and snow in February hasn't been bothering me quite as bad. I think it helps to know that Feb. is a shorter month. I'm glad we all have each other to help psych our brains into happiness! Hope you have a great weekend you cute fast running mommy!
Sasha is my personal trainer and lives with me ...need I say more. He encourages me to run the 5 every day and I stick to it if at all humanly possible. I also have an amazing partner who is very dedicated and at my house at 6:00 a.m to run with me in miserable weather around my block again and again while my babies slumber. I can handle consistent running better than longer and shorter rnning days..I think it is a good training plan.
So should we have some homemade root beer floats Sarah style when I come up? It's super easy to make.
I could take a bit of credit for running...I do consider myself a disciplined person...but deep down I know that I would soooo skip days if I wasn't in the mood and if I was all on my lonesome without hubby or running partner to get me out of bed. Thanks for giving me credit though...you are a pal. :)
Yes yes yes! I am getting very excited to see you guys! Bonus--we have some pet butterflies that should be just about to come out of their Chrysalles' when you guys arrive. My kids are excited.
Also, one of my piano students is getting a new piano. She asked if I knew anyone who would want the old one (free). It needs tuning...badly, but is basically okay, I think. Is there any way it would fit in your van with some creative seating? I intially gave it to one of my other piano students, but she is not using it. I'm going to see if I can get it back so I can place it where it will do some good! Let me know if you are interested.
Oh...I'd love a piano but I really don't know if we could haul it that far...I think mostly Sasha would worry about how it would affect our gas mileage. I'll run it pass him and see if we could make it work. Thanks for thinking of us.
I'm getting excited for the trip too...it will be so fun to see you and..the butterflies..wow!!
