| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| 51:40....not super fast today but hey..it's Monday. Although actually Mondays are usually my supercharged days because I'm actually well rested from our slow Sundays. I tried a new thing with my kids yesterday that was fun. We made a bunch of cards up and put them in a big envelope. The rule of the game was to do whatever you draw. They got to ask Sasha and I to tell them family stories, make cookies for the Primary teachers, memorize scriptures for treats and play some new games. I thought the day went better than normal but they said they were still a little bit bored. I think part of our problem is we are around eachother all week anyway and so we are ready to see different people but not always organized enough to make it happen. The story I told Jenny was how I met her Daddy. I ended it by telling her how lucky she was to have him for a Daddy...she said, "I know..he is one of my best friends" Then she also usually comments that it's great that I married him because how else would she have gotten her gorgeous red hair. She is so innocently vain..it's adorable. She is a very sweet and obedient girl so I don't worry about her really being vain or superficial when she's older. Hopefully I can teach her to shine with an beauty from within that will mean more to her than gorgeous red hair anyway... | | Comments(1) |

| Don't know if i should record the .01 but we did it...Looking forward to some Halloween fun. We always throw a Halloween party so our kids don't miss trick or treating. I buy them treats at Good Earth and we invite friends over and have a blast. This year we are going to make homemade caramel apples from real butter and our type of sugar(crystallized fructose is my favorite and cheapest low glycemic sugar) I bought all these little apples at the fruit stand and I'm excited to make them into caramel apples tomorrow. | | Comments(4) |

| Happy Halloween!!! I loved Halloween as a child and have a lot of fun with it as an adult (although it's not quite as fun when you are in charge..but I love watching the joy on my kids faces so it's worth it) Amanda and I got to run on the trail today. Funny...but in the dark it doesn't really make a difference to me where I run. And especially with someone to talk to. I feel like we keep going pretty slow..maybe it's the dark or maybe we are just tired Moms...I wish we could get a little more pep in our step and do sub 10 miles again.

| Tempo run 15:56....had an issue with the leaves on the ground making my eyes go crazy so I slowed down a little bit at the end. I am excited about this run though because I ran smarter today. I relaxed the first half mile and then starting working a bit more gradually, gradually until pushing it hard the last half mile(except when I lost concentration because my eyes with going nutso looking at all the leaves on the ground) I'll blame the leave thing on the fact that I have one nearsighted and one farsighted eye and they are a little imbalanced . Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. Our party went perfectly . I had a fun spread of food. Next year I may ask people to bring something to make it more fun for them to share one of their families treats....I made this incredible apple cider in my crockpot with whole allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks and orange slices floating in it. It was a classic beauty and actually the hit of the party. We had fun talking and the kids played and watched a crazy ailen movie that is based on a book series that Benjamin LOVES. | | Comments(3) |
