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 don't know if getting up early every day is good for me or not. I'm okay most of the time but I don't always have the stamina I need to get me through my day...my kids are okay mostly it's just going from activity to activity and having to fight my four year old to obey me...that wears me out more than anything else.  Maybe I should sleep in some days and run around the block when I wake up later?  

It's amazing though that the actual running does make me feel better. It seems I'm more tired and achy on Sundays from not running.....anyway...I'll figure it out but I just need to figure out how to stay sane while I take care of all my babies..including Sasha.

BTW, Sasha was really sweet when he got home on Saturday and tried to take me out for a date....I wasn't feeling up to going out for some reason and convinced him to take the girls out instead...they deserved a Daddy daughter date and had a fun time. :)

nice normal run....no dark shadows moving although two scary guys walked towards me...I'm thinking, "Those punks...what are they smoking?" As they got closer they were two old teddy bear grandpas out for their morning stroll. 

One time I saw a group of punky teenagers congregating on the trail...turned out to be a group of runners resting after their long Saturday run.

Resting my knee today...it's been bugging a bit. Also I woke up at 3 and only went back to sleep for a short time before 6 when I dreamt that I passed out in front of the bishop's office on the way to pay tithing for my four year old!!

Okay...I walked a little the last mile because I felt a little faint...it's been awhile since I've done five. ...but it felt great to go longer.

did five..I don't know if I'll keep this up every day...already I feel that familiar feeling of "I just had a baby" laziness creeping in...which is why

1. I didn't make my bed today

2. I haven't showered yet

3. I did not do any Saturday morning chores with the kids

 

I did however

1. Run 5 miles around an avg pace of 10:10 or so

2. Clean my bathroom..sweeping, mopping and all

3. nurse a baby a few times and play with him

4. Try not to scream at the kids for fighting all the time..I was patient I was I was. :)

5. Make tuna sandwiches and fresh applesauce

6. Give my boys haircuts..I haven't stopped going....this is making me tired...maybe I should go crawl into my unmade bed?
