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.
We were tired this morning because we ran faster and at night...only 10 hours ago. So...we were dragging through the last..oh 2.5 miles...ugh. Benjamin is having a b-day party today. I'm excited for it.
The party went great...we made cinnamon rolls together....the same kind me and my kids had made earlier in the week to practice for the party...I wanted to look like I knew what I was doing. They played games that Benjamin was in charge of(older kids are sooo much easier) while I heated up the cheese for the nacho dinner we were having. After dinner they played Star Wars Risk and loved that. After dessert they watched a movie and ate jelly beans. I really like that age group of boys and had a fun time. I wanted Benjamin to enjoy a long fun party and I think he did. His best friend (Army Runner's son) and his cousins spent the night. The party got a little old when they were still there at three o'clock the next afternoon and I was ready for my run...but pretty much everything went really well.
