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.

Ran two with Jenny at 10 min  mile pace and then felt really tired but did one more mile. Jacob had a bad fever and kept me up last night.

I felt tired after the first 2 miles today but I got to run with one of my favorite people and wonderful conversationalist...Luz Lewis. She drove out to meet me and when ran past her house twice but she was willing to go the extra miles to run with me and I'm grateful for it. My eyes are puffy today from lack of sleep. Luz said it's hormones and she is probably right. I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot fall back asleep. William is peacefully snoozing and all is well with the children but my body just won't rest. I'm hoping and praying that running a little more and trying to be active and happy during the day will help.

Things went from bad to ugly....almost no sleep last night and I'm turning into a basket case. Sasha is being as helpful as possible but I'm afraid I'm going to push him to his limit. The only thing I can be grateful for is that the insomnia is happening now and not right after William was born. I usually have insomnia for awhile from just having a new baby in the house who never sleeps. For the first time out of six kids I didn't get it. I was sleeping 6-8 hours every night. I was able to get on a good schedule and get going in the mornings, teach my kids, organize my house and have time for fun and good humor later in the day. Sure I've been tired but not exhausted. I'm not sure why it's happening now but maybe I just have to suffer through a little insomnia with each baby to make me love them more...don't know. So any suggestions what I should do with all my free time?

so since I'm sleeping just fine again I have NO motivation to run more....I can wait a couple of months when William is a little bit older...no rush. I've been sleeping in to make up for lost sleep and haven't been running in the mornings. I'll run sometime today..I know Sasha will make sure of that. :) Happy Heart Day everyone!!!

real quick funny story. Sasha, I, Elizabeth and Ted Leblow went out to dinner together last night. Ted tried to talk Sasha into going out somewhere new (we always go to the cafe at Good Earth)....but to no avail...So we were a little worried that it would be crowded on Valentine Weekend. When we walked in it was completely empty...we had the whole place to ourselves..so for future reference...noone wants to be healthy on Valentine's day...they want expensive steaks and hearty stuff to last until next year!! :)
