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.

did a slooooow five on a few inches of snow this morning. It was not as cold but it was hard going in that slush....wishing so bad for spring especially after a wonderful trip to St. George. Thanks again to Steve and Kendra for their hospitality and lovely party.

I'm going to add another one this afternoon with Juila...they are always so excited to run with me. 

Well, I told Sasha he couldn't write about the funny thing I did yesterday...I didn't say I couldn't write about it.

We ordered our oats for our food storage in bulk and picked them up yesterday(that's a whole other story) We usually fill 11 5 gallon buckets with our year's supply of oats.

I guess I miscalculated because the 400 pounds I thought our family needed for a year filled over 21 buckets (we still have one opened bag). Those were all the buckets we had for all of the food we store. (popcorn, lentils, beans, wheat, rice...etc)

It is one of our favorite times together as a family when we open up those big bags of oats and scoop them into buckets. Even little Joseph could help and cried when we ran out of buckets!! We had fun following the prophet yesterday....

One take on food storage that my sister has is that if she has more than she needs she will take that opportunity to share with neighbors that do not have any food stored in an emergency...so...anybody need oatmeal, granola or any other form of oats...we gotcha covered.

Felt okay today...don't remember the time...hamstring a bit tender with a faster pace. A friend is going to look at it and give me some ideas of how to not get injured worse...will hope for the best.

Jossee came and scraped my legs today...hopefully I'll get better about remembering to ice my legs after my runs. I really missed not having a partner today. I can run in the dark, I can run alone, I can run in circles around my house...but I can't run in the dark, cold, alone and fifteen times around my house without feeling a little down.

Ran slow by myself on the trail today. 

 I was kind of scared to go out in the dark by myself. I've gotten so used to having a partner. So near the end of my run when I saw a large group of people ahead of me and the mouth of the trail I kind of panicked and wondered if it was a group of teenagers looking for trouble...what a laugh when I passed by a group of adult runners stopping to chat before they went for a run together. Wished I'd had some of them earlier on my run.
