This is Jeff, Kimia's husband posting for her, because I hope that people will post here on her blog and encourage her to keep at it. 

She has been running some since she last posted in August, and lately has been going out for about a mile a day and on Tuesday (2-3-09) set a new mile pr of 12:14.  However, she doesn't want to post on the blog because she feels embarrassed because she doesn't feel she is fast enough.  She also doesn't like getting a guilt trip from Sasha if she misses a day.

Anyhow, please post on here.  She will see the encouragement and hopefully start to blog again.  Maybe she will even enjoy running a bit more if she has blogger friends.  Besides, I think she will like the attention.

I love you nini! I am so proud of you for running and for trying to be healthy!

Kimia,

Listen to your husband. He is obviously a genius.

Speed is irrelevant. Dedication and enjoyment means so much more.

Just that fact that you are getting out and making the effort means that you are a welcomed member of this community.

Welcome.

I am a beginning runner myself and have only been posting here for a month. This site alone has motivated me to run more, push farther, and take more pride in my achievements, no matter how small. I have even signed up for my first race (a 10k even!!!!).

Jeff, good job. Keep pushing your wife.

oh,wow. This is embarrassing. But it's OK. I'll start blogging once I run longer.

Thanks hon, I love you too.

Trust me, not everyone on the fast runningblog runs as fast as Jeff or Sasha. In fact, I have my own blog I like to call fatrunningslob.com Just don't ever stop jogging. But blogging about jogging is also fun. So welcome! and keep it up!

Hey, this blog is full of all kinds of runners! Many of us just like to have fun, meet up and run, eat after, and so on! So, blog away, no matter what you are doing! I blog my non-running days, I blog my shopping!!!

So, one day Jeff came home after running and said, "Honey, I think Sarah (Sasha's wife) really wants to run with you". So, I was like OK. I knew I could not say no to Sarah. So I got ready the next morning and went with Jeff to Sasha's house. I slept on their coach for an hour, until Sarah was up and then went running. Oh, only Sarah is patient enough to run with me because I'm so slow. but I really enjoyed it and decided to run with her every day. it's been day 3 now, and I feel like I have been improving alot already. The first day, I was breathing hard and the whole time I was running I was thinking in my head, " Sarah has had six kids and she is way faster and stronger than I am, Holy cow", Anyways I look up to her and I look forward to run every morning now. Today I ran a mile and walked for a half a mile and ran again for another half a mile. um,, Thanks for reading

Today was a funny day. Sarah and I were about to tale off for our run and we see Jeff, He waas already done with his run, so he comes running with us. we took William with us as well. Jeff and I ran with Sarah for the first mile and then we returned and walked back for half a mile and then ran for the last half a mile. Jeff all of the sudden decided that I should sprint for the last quarter mile. he was so sure that I could do it. so I was like ok. Yup, I died the first 100 meeters. Anyways. when we came back, Sasha decided that I should race him for a 100 meeters. He actually was rea;;y impressed how fast I took of. Anyways, they guys had me do bunch of other stuff to test me to see my strength. Anyways it was so funny . Since Jeff and I we both had today off, we stayed at their house and had breakfast. Sarah made waffles and Jeff made smooties. that's if for today.

I did not go to bed until midnight last night, and today we got up at 5:40. We went to sasha's house and Sarah was already awake. so we left the house at 6:20 and ran a mile. I was feeling really good and i felt really energetic.  It was so funny because Sarah was actually little more tired than usuall. But I was feeling so good that i wanted to run another mile, but Jeff says that I shouldn't since my knees are hurting. so I'm going to wait until they are not sore anymore and then I will maybe run 2 miles a day instead of 1.5. Maybe I felt really good running today because I was wearing good shoes for once. I'm actually planning on buying a pair of running shoes instead of these heavy shoes that I already have. today I tried Jeff's racing flats and it felt SO GOOD. Anyways, after Sarah and I came back, we woke up the kids and got them dress and drove to the start of the race. It was sooo fun. I enjoyed visiting with people and helping Sasha and Sarah a little bit. Jeff won the race and we got 50 Dollars. woohoo. Tonight I'm going to baby sit their kids. I'm super excited. Since Sasha took the second place, he is going to take Sarah on a date, I hope, he better. lol. Anyways Thanks
