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.

Well..so much for my leisurely 11 minute mile pace...Amanda loves to go sub 10 and will unless I whine to go slower....so we did 4.96 in 47:36....I'm tired. I think I must just be older than her...that's it. Whine whine. 

Sasha is in the doghouse. I went for an evening run and the kids were not in bed when I got back. All you other men know that is against the law of the wife right....kids fed, in bed, house clean before Mom gets back. oh well..at least I got my run in.

Amanda and I have been running at night because her husband is out of town. We have been speeding this week ...today we were doing close to 9 minute mile pace...I'm tired. I can't blabber as much as I like at that pace...I get winded. 

But it feels good to work hard and hope for good rewards to come...my leg is feeling slightly better....better go ice it though.

I was STARVING all day yesterday and I'm tired today. I'm not sure what I did to myself on Wednesday but I'm still feeling it. I have to admit that I am determined that I won't resent my runs. For me the emotional balance in my life is vital to making it happily through  my day with my very perceptive and very needy little darlings. I've learned that if I'm going to swim and not sink through my day as a homeschooling natural meal preparing kind and loving mom I have to watch that emotional balance very closely or the balance will tip and I will resent my runs. I want to be able to run and I want it to bring a vitality to life that enhances my ability to get through my day. I realize some days I will be tired and I'm not afraid of that....just searching for the balance.
