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.

Got up and got a wonderful reward..my running partner was there!! She wants to get up early..it's just hard with three little kids who keep you up all night. For some reason her baby has started waking up alot...I'm guessing he's teething...that always ruins my best sleepers. 

We had a good time chatting for a bit..two miles goes by fast. I think when I'm with her we run around 11 min mile which feels fast to me after all my deliciously slow 12's.

Came home to find a fun running group for Sasha. I remember when we lived in our other house and he had trouble finding partners for some reason. I think for a whole winter we went to the Provo Canyon Trail in the mountains together everyday. He would run while the kids and I played in the snow or snacked in the car and then I would run while he loaded them up and drove them home. It worked okay and not that I don't enjoy the company of my family...it just felt like sometimes we were the only people on the face of the earth. We never saw anyone up there...where were they? Skiing? Shopping? Can't figure why anyone else didn't want to run in the freezing cold. Sasha is always happier when he has running friends and I'm happy for him.

My favorite partner for him was Ted..Army Runner...that man is the most punctual, most regular partner in the universe for sure. We knew that if he was more than 3 minutes late that that meant he was not coming. I was always grateful for Sasha to have a friend in the morning...he's happier..I'm happier...it's all good. :)
