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.

3.2 by myself in the morning.....a dog got in my way...Sasha always gets a good laugh from my dog stories. This particular dog was galloping fast...really fast. I thought it was this dog I'd seen before who always gets distracted playing in the river and then has to run fast to catch up with his owner. So imagine my surprise when about 100 meters away it stops suddenly and starts barking at me. Obviously he was protecting his territory and I was not about to take him on alone. Turns out it was the dog of my previous running partners new partner....not only did she steal my partner but she has annoying dogs too....ooooo...I'm steaming. Okay she didn't really steal my partner but she did have an annoying dog that day. I not being a pet owner am totally unsympathetic to people that have their dogs off leashes and let them terrify sweet innocent runners.  Okay...done venting...maybe Brent needs to create some points for not letting a dog ruin your run. I could use some extra courage in that area.

As a pet owner: I give you full permission to be more than unsympathetic to annoying people who let their dogs off the leash and chase runners. Give them a lecture that a leash costs around $7.00 at Walmart and to please pick one up next time they are there.

Thanks Lulu...so good to hear from you again. It's always nice to know the baby is there ...waiting to grow and kick the heck out of ya. :)

Unfortunately I have the type of personality that I just might give unsuspecting people a lecture when I'm upset. I yelled at the boys picking up my donation for the Scouts yesterday because they almost didn't pick mine up. The reason...they drove by and didn't even bother getting out of the car to see past the bushes that block the view of my porch.
