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.

nice 4 mile jog with a little extra...I'm slowly going to reach for 5. That's how I made it to 4. I just would add a little extra every day until one day I just felt ready to try it. Not that I couldn't go out and run 10 miles if I wanted to..the point is that once I commit to 5, I'll be trying to run that 5 every day 6 days a week. That's the tricky part...consistency.

All day Saturday I worked on a project I've been wanting to do for months. I hand painted a towel rack for our bathroom. I bought a big board at Roberts with beveled edges, painted it and then planned. I spent most of the planning time shopping for the hooks to hang the towels on. If I was making it I wanted to make it for considerably less than I would buy it. I probably saved about 10-15 dollars only on materials. Sasha looked at the artwork that I put on it and wants to try and get me to start a little side business selling custom hand painted items...honestly I've wanted to do this for years!!! We'll see if we can make it fly...still in dreaming stages on it. A few years ago when I realized that I had an artist trapped inside me I started dreaming of custom painting things for people..because I love doing it...and it's not an exact science that would stress me out..like being a seamstress or something that had to be exact and perfect...it's art..it's supposed to be original!  Anyway..monday ramblings...onto laundry and organizing the office. We had a hole in a window and seems a mouse got in through there..I caught it but now I'm totally grossed out and want to organize and deep clean the office to make sure he didn't leave behind too many treasures.
