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 thought I already posted this today...but it wasn't showing up...here we go again. 49:36 felt really good today..I love those days and wish I knew how to reproduce them every day. Yesterday was one of those tired days. Somebody said something to me that got under my skin a little bit and I ended up taking it personally.  Anyway, today was a great day and a great run. I made the most delicious cinnamon rolls ever, took my kids to the library, had a date with Julia, read a million stories to my kids and was smart enough to tell Sasha to put the kids to bed so I could come veg downstairs....

I'm almost done with my "dream quilt" I have to finish one more strip and sew the last two strips on. I'm going to have a quilting party and invite friends in my neighborhood and friends from the blog to come, eat , talk and of course quilt...little or no experience needed because I'm not a perfectionist myself and don't really care if the stiches are perfect. I was debating on how to quilt it because it's such a unique quilt. I decided on letting each person do whatever they want with each square...so hopefully at least squares that are touching eachother are quilted differently....if you are reading this Josse or Michelle or anyone else with quilting knowledge let me know what you think.

Ahh, nothing like letting the hubby handle the kids for a time huh? Im so glad you had a good run day today, always needed after a tired day. I admire your consistency!

I think that idea is a cool one, are you going to imborder or just do a traditional tie quilt?

i really don't like the way tie quilts look...I know it's way more time consuming to imborder(didn't know that was the word) but I personally love doing it however awkward I am at it still and think it looks so much more beautiful.
