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 woke up in a bad mood. (I am actually usually perky...even at 5:45 when I wake up) I am happy for another day. But last night Jacob kept me up and I guess that got me up on the wrong side today.

Then I had to face running alone today...I've gotten so spoiled and I dread being alone for 5 miles...it's just a long time.

So two cats fighting, one scary giant iceberg sculpture on the fence of some creative souls in the trailer park, two icy puddles that soaked my left foot and two yapping dogs that escaped through the fence made me decide to cut my run short today and try to run with the girls in the afternoon. Fun fun....

Added a little bit by myself and with the Julia. Luckily I had a play/homeschool date set up with my friend Yulia who is totally laid back and great to be around and help you cheer up.

Sasha teasing me about the dogs didn't help my mood. Although he did give me some good advice that I think will help me not overreact in the future. He basically told me that most dogs are not taught to attack people and will run away from you if you scare them off. I guess I should only fear for my life if I run into a pit bull or the likes.

I thought I already posted this today...but it wasn't showing up...here we go again. 49:36 felt really good today..I love those days and wish I knew how to reproduce them every day. Yesterday was one of those tired days. Somebody said something to me that got under my skin a little bit and I ended up taking it personally.  Anyway, today was a great day and a great run. I made the most delicious cinnamon rolls ever, took my kids to the library, had a date with Julia, read a million stories to my kids and was smart enough to tell Sasha to put the kids to bed so I could come veg downstairs....

I'm almost done with my "dream quilt" I have to finish one more strip and sew the last two strips on. I'm going to have a quilting party and invite friends in my neighborhood and friends from the blog to come, eat , talk and of course quilt...little or no experience needed because I'm not a perfectionist myself and don't really care if the stiches are perfect. I was debating on how to quilt it because it's such a unique quilt. I decided on letting each person do whatever they want with each square...so hopefully at least squares that are touching eachother are quilted differently....if you are reading this Josse or Michelle or anyone else with quilting knowledge let me know what you think.

Beautiful run. 50:33 sub 10 pace. We tried to slow down but ended up speeding up even more...we chatted and really enjoyed our run. Nice to have Amanda back.

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.

50:53 for 5.1

Felt good when I woke up but a little bit winded on my run...guess I shouldn't talk so much...Sasha says he'd be tired if he talked as much as we do when Amanda and I run together. I have plans to ignore my kids as much as possible and finish the quilt top...

My sister saw it and said it was ugly...I told her it was supposed to be ugly..it's art. (does that make sense?)
