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.

crazy run today..I tried Sasha's well..I guess the original credit goes to Lybi..are you out there sweetie?..anyway..I ran BAREFOOT. I love walking around barefoot but the trail wasn't as sweet to walk on as my carpet and tile. It was fun watching for reactions of people. Women in groups and men did not pay attention..women alone gave me weird looks.

Cut it a little short today. Busy busy day with lots of running around and children having meltdowns because I took  them too many places. Sorry guys!

I want to get up to 4 a day but usually cut it short because of feeling like I need to get home. I got up with Sasha's alarm today..set for 5..sheesh! Well..since I was awake I got up and got going. Everything is broken right now and I hate it..the lawn mower, a sprinkler head, glass shower door and... guess who gets to fix all the stuff?..you got it...the grunt work lady..the diaper changer, baby feeder,  gormet all natural meal fixer, nose wiper woman of all work....me :)  Is it time for a HoneyDo list?

A tiny bit tired today but not too bad. Got a busy day of choir practice...dentist..finish fixing all the broken things..move the girls bedroom downstairs so the baby can have his own room.

felt awful today and decided to only do 2. I guess with having a baby waking me up at night still my body isn't quite ready to change to 4..I still want to so I'm going to try again next week.

This is just a guess since I don't know the 4 mile turn around very well. I didn't run 4 on the trail very much and then when I started running on the trail again I hiked it up to 5...know that turn around but not ready for it. 

The construction guys are coming today to rip out our back porch..sad..but happy news is that they will build a dining room in it's place for a mere 20 grand...oh and that includes a new roof. We've been waiting to do this the entire time we've lived here and I am soooooo ready. For any of you who have been to our humble abode and eaten in our tiny kitchen you may know what I'm talking about.

Now I'm dreaming of the table that will grace that dining room. We'll have to pay it off first but soon..soon...:)

Almost made it to four..almost..slowly building up. Nursing and getting woken up all night every night does a bigger number on my body than pregnancy. I'm usually back in shape for a couple of months and then ...pregnant again..;)

I've done three and am preblogging because I plan on doing one more when Kimia and Jeff come in a little bit. Jeff is trying to get enough sleep before the marathon this Saturday. 

I've been taking my kids swimming every day this week. It's going well..they are progressing every day. 

Did I mention that I'm going to learn to play the guitar. I've already learned two songs and I'm working on perfecting those...Benjamin accidently hit my guitar last night and then when I was trying to retune it a string broke..:( Luckily I have free repairs at the guitar shop that I bought it at for the first year.

Felt pretty good. I ran with Felicia..a lady from my ward that I've run with a few times before. She is so cute and starts out sprinting..whew..made me tired at first. I always warm up slow and then speed up at the end. 

I get to pick out roof colors today..we are adding on and getting a new roof on top of it..pun intended..hee hee!!

4 felt good today. I'm going to try to finish out this week doing 4 and see if that's what I want to keep at..maybe I'm pushing the miles too soon. Nursing takes SOO much out of my body that it really takes me a long time to get back to normal..like when the baby is eating more food and not me!!!

I felt good today..pushed it on the hills and picked up the pace..strong day..four felt normal and even easy. (I know it is easy for some people.) Hope everyone has a great day. Be grateful for what you have. Be kind to yourself.

Had a little bit of trouble sleeping last night..not the baby ..me!! I hate that. So I ran four today at my own pace to see if that got my system back in order. I have a really weird body...sometimes if I even miss one day of running my body is like..what..you took a break? And then I'm up at the crack of dawn the next day  full of energy.

So much for a week of three's...an incredible thing happened last night..William and I both slept through the night..I feel good today..got a little bit of nervous energy I think from not being used to feeling good. 

I entered my kids in an art contest today. It was fun to look and see entries that were from weird to adorable and even a couple that looked like they should be in a museum and made you wonder 1. How much money the parents spent on the frame (I spent 1.50 and they are cute frames) 2. How much they paid for private art lessons.   I hope they look at those ones and think before making them first place. I think children's art should look a little goofy..and from a child's heart..not Monet or Renoir copies at the age of 5..come on.

felt okay..had a late night but felt pretty good. 

Funny story..I couldn't find my nursing cover and Sasha's running partner Jeff was still there so I picked up one of the kids cape and used that instead..I should market it.."Supermommy Nursing Cover" ..doubles as nursing cover for baby feeding time and cape for everything else that happens in an average supermommy day...:)

So today the fast running supermommy helped Benjamin make clam chowder..he loves cooking..and tye dyed t-shirts with the kids for our traditional matching 4th of July t-shirts!! Fun stuff..onto laundry and beyond!!
