| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Stevie turns 5 months old tomorrow and I'm still running 2..my goal is to be back to 3 by 6 months 4 by 8 months and 5 by 10 months. The biggest factor is sleep and I think nursing really does suck me dry..pun totally intended. | |

| I've handled bumping up to 2.5 okay..I know it doesn't seem like it should be hard but you've never taken care of my family in my body..so don't judge... We are going to California next week so I probably won't blog at all...will try and run but not sure how that's going to happen..it's going to be a crazy intense week. Sasha is the funniest guy on the planet...he can't stand traveling without me. He basically quit his other job because they had madatory exotic trips..montreal canada..cancun..tough life. :)

| really good run today. It's good balance to have a good day after some tough times. My time got messed up a little but the 1.5 back was great...14:23.stinkin fast for me and it felt great!! I think my time on the way out was about 15:10..I usually go slower on the first part due to warm up and it's uphill. ...so it averages out to a little faster 10:00 pace....that's my target training pace for now. |

| crashed again last week..ahhh...had to cut the miles a little. Guess I'm getting old. Three felt okay today but I went slow. 31:33. Sasha was very sweet on Saturday after I told him how tired I was making myself. He took all the children shopping in the morning...answered my every beck and call all day AND took us out for dinner that night... |

| not sure on the time but I ran pretty fast today. Sasha thinks my adrenal glands are shutting down in the afternoon. I feel really tired all day...I have faith that if I try resting a little in the morning after breakfast that my day will go better. |

| So I've been resting for 15 min in the morning after my run and after I eat breakfast. It has so far gotten rid of the day time fatigue problems I was having!!! Also today I got a really good time....for me. 29:21 15:04 on the first half....

| tired day 31:16 was all I could do. I'm aiming for 30:00 about on my normal training days and faster on Wednesdays. Resting in the morning after runs is helping but my body is retarded and can't adjust to daylight savings time. I can't fall asleep right away when it's not bedtime!! this too shall pass :) |

| I've run 3 miles every day for the last monoth...the fatigue during the day is slowly getting better and my times are improving. I've decided to enter in the lds church art contest this year. With hopes of making a work of art people will look at and 1. Be inspired to improve their testimony 2. Cherish motherhood and 3. go.huh...what did she mean by that? I am not a trained artist but Sasha and I think I should develop my artistic talents..this contest will give me the motivation I need to finish something.

| wow..I'm really slacking on my blogging!!! I am starting to feel less tired during the day and am thinking about going up to 4 next week. I think the game plan is to just rest for the first two weeks of adding mileage and not overdo during the day....kind of have that tendency of being supermom, housecleaner, teacher, cook, and fashion designer on the side. :) my times are getting faster too...yay! I've been sub 30:00 all this week with 29:22 today.

| Can I blog April all at once. Stevie keeps me up at nights so I have to sleep in a little and then it cuts into my free time in the morning before I need to be teacher/mommy. I ran 3 miles all month and got to the point last week where running sub 30 min on my runs was FINALLY easy ..didn't need to rest during the day and could work and play the way I wanted to...good stuff. And..that was with a baby teething and waking me up ALL night long...can't imagine what I'd be able to do on sleep. :) Today I tried 4..well..I probably ran more like 3.9 or so ..couldn't remember the turn around. My time was 40:24..maybe should have been more like 42:00 for 4 real miles...

| Well the good news is that in the past four days Stevie has actually slept twice..not last night but the night before. I'm so grumpy though..I just can't be cheerful when I get woken up so much!! Anyway..I feel okay despite the sleep problems. I think I'm on 4 every day...I'm handling it better than 3 because my times were already okay. I was still being SUPER post baby lazy when I switched to 3. So....41:45 today..40:15 yesterday..I'll hope for sub 40 in the next couple of weeks. I'm playing the organ on Sunday..yikes..yikes. The Easter hymns are hard and I didn't really get enough notice! |

| I totatlly need to repent of not blogging in FOREVER. We have had an interesting year this year....1 broken leg, 1 seriously smashed finger..1 stapled head..2 calls to 911 and most recently 1 child hit by a car in a parking lot (he's just bumped up and scared but okay) My mom says it's because I have a lot of little boys but I'm feeling like we should just hibernate for the rest of the year. |

| This was the first race I've run since well..last year. I've done alot of tempo runs. This was an okay time for several reasons. 1. William had a febral seizure last night and turned blue at the lips..had to call 911. 2. I was up all night watching over William. 3. I have had a hard time recovering from Stephen and just barely got back into semi-decent shape(for me) I ran the first 2 miles in 16:10...then the sleep deprivation set in and I jogged mile 3 in about 8:53..then I finished somewhat strong in 8:20...hard..but not as hard as last year when the baby was much smaller..I have progressed. I really need to get back into blogging....hope those of you who use this service appreciate the time and effort Sasha put into it to get it started..we love having you around!!!
