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.

52:11 for 5.16...actually was a great run today...I feel energized by it.  

Almost turned the alarm clock off, called my running partner and rolled back over. The boys were tag team waking mom up last night and kept me awake for awhile. 

I'm looking forward to this week. I'm excited for the races on Thursday...excited to see family....excited to take some time off from homeschooling and just do what we feel like (which will still be educational...I'm sure...I think I'm going to try and teach the girls how to crochet...they need a long patient lesson to really learn)

And I'm looking forward to turkey..of course. :)

I'll make all of you girls jealous today...I got to run with Mik'L this morning. She got up and ran around my block with me at 5 a.m.!!!  She told me this awesome story about how James said to Lybi the day before we came to stay with them back in the wee days of the blog. "Uh, honey, I met this guy on the internet (??) and his entire family is coming to stay with us tomorrow. " Lybi may tell you crazy stories about me slaving away for their family while she lounged around in bed (super sick and I wished I could have nursed her more than I was able to) but that lady treated us like royalty and I am ever grateful to her for one of the most pleasant visits I've ever had. And for all of you that know Lybi you know that she is ...well...what can I say...she's just a special lady and we all love her. :) Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you are all truly grateful for the challenges you have and for the blessings you receive from facing those challenges with courage and faith. I know I am and I'm thankful for the insight I had to marry Sasha...I almost let him slip away. 

Thanks Mik'l for listening to me ramble today..I hope I let you get a few words in edgewise.  

Have a great day everyone.

I beat my PR on this race!!! I think I may have beat my 5k PR but not sure. I was flying(for me) but the best part is that I got that great runner's high and felt wonderful the whole race. Maybe I could have gotten a little bit faster time with a miserable race but I'm happy that I felt good and still finished strong....last quarter was 1:46 after a side ache slowed me down. 

Had a great Thanksgiving with family and am looking forward to our first annual cuddle scripture study Thanksgiving tradition with my babies and hubby.

Didn't feel too sore.  Kept up 10:30 pace for most of the run. Felt good enough to make a bunch of pumpkin pies for our party with the Leblows.

Amanda and I actually got to go on the trail today. When it's dark and I have someone to talk to I actually don't care where I am. It was fun to do something different.

Jacob woke me up about 10 times last night(not an exaggeration) and Amanda woke up dry heaving....we still were able to do 2:28 quarters chatting most of the time.
