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 have trouble feeling super tired when the cold winter hits. I'm going to try making sure to take vitamins early this year...that seemed to help me last year. I think my body gets used to all the fresh fruit and all of a sudden it's gone. Any ideas?

Well- you know I'm only doing 6 'cause your hubby told me to! Ha! Really, I'm glad he did. I'm just trying to run an hour a day (which usually turns out to be about 6) then I don't get too overwhelmed thinking of all the miles I have to get in. I hear you about being tired. I think the best remedy is SLEEP! Catch a nap or get in bed earlier if you can. Oranges are good right now as far as fruit goes. Have a great day!

I agree with you about the fruit. Citrus is picked in North America in the winter, so it is the best for winter consumption. Fall is also a great time for apples. Late season tomatoes (yes, they are a fruit) are still available as most growers plant a second crop after the heat of the summer. Although not a fruit, sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients and are being harvested as I write this. Of course, you can get grapes, bananas and mangos other fruits right now because they come from South America. However, the pesticides they use are a big issue for me.

BTW, Sarah, do you make your own baby food? I make about 75% of what Bubbles eats. I thought if you do, we could exchange some ideas.

Sarah, thanks, I will have Sylvia ask Sasha for help. I am with you are the winter time running, hard to get some pep in the step at times.
