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.

Got in all 5. Felt a little bit dull running around the block but not too bad. I need a new training partner but it's hard for me to feel like I can run with anyone because I have to go slow. 

Got some new shoes last night. I took all five kids to the mall with me. I promised them we would play at the cool indoor playground after we bought shoes for Mommy and Sunday clothes for Joseph and Jacob.

Much to our great dismay, the playground was GONE!!! There was this stupid sign that said something about needing a sponsor. Okay..I need to vent about this. Why in the world would they need a sponsor for a playground that was already there...built...low maintenance. Did it cost millions of dollars to clean it ?  Any enlightenment on this would be good because my kids are so sad and they are sure that the mall managers are money hungry sharks. So we contented ourselves with playing on the rides that cost 50 cents to make go but are still fun to play on while they are sitting still.

 My sister is coming today and we are going to paint easter eggs...yay...I love doing this.

I'm feeling very grateful that I'm not super sick anymore. I really have fairly easy pregnancies. My mom told me that she was on this great morning sickness medicene that of course they found to be harmful in some way and have taken off the market. She says she was incapacitated and could not have had six kids without that drug. My sisters get really sick too. I feel lucky but I also feel that it gives me more responsibility to have more kids. Not that I'm the best mother or have the easiest time with all the other things that happen between teething, tantrums, potty training and beyond but at least my pregnancies aren't too bad.

Thanks for the welcoming! I did feel that it was silly for me to blog my slow short running miles. But Dustin said I should keep track on the blog and try to get better. So that is what my goal is to do. Plus I do need to loose some weight so why not try running!

Sarah, no run is ever too slow, every run is a great run, there is always someone ahead and behind. Easter eggs coloring, how cool, who hides the eggs for the hunt? Sounds fun.

Stay Kool, Blessed we are, Easter Day, B of BS Rools out

You are welcome Sunny..and as I'm sure Brent would agree "every run is a great run"...thanks for your ever needed wisdom Brent. The children have stuffed bunnies that get in contact with the real Easter bunny...he hides the eggs of course. :)

I always used to tell people who were afraid they would be last at a race that at least they could say they beat everyone who stayed home in bed.

The playground thing, the floor got ruinded when the mall flooded so I guess they had to take the whole thing down to replace the floor. Plus I think moms complained about not being able to see their kids all the time. I lost Gauge their once, it was super scary. I thought they were going to replace it.

I always thought it was a bit scary when adults would climb into the tree where you can't see your kids. That's pretty lame that they took it away though.

Oh, I was going to tell you that Provo's easter egg hunt is tomorrow at pioneer park. 9am there's some activities, 10am the gun goes off, and 10:10 the easter bunny comes out.

Thanks for letting us know Adam..very sweet.

I went to the Provo mall..is that the one that got flooded or Orem? I never liked the treehouse playground either because kids would push my kids inside there and I couldn't see. The Orem one had a sign though that they were rebuilding. The Provo one just said they needed money and seemed like it was up in the air.

It was the orem one that got flooded. That stinks, I really liked the Provo one.

Hey Sarah! Bummin about the playground! I know what that's like to be a kid and lose your favorite playground. It happened to me too as a kid and I was scarred for life! Okay, not really. So, about that running together, I would be honored to meet you and run with you! I have to warn you, I'm really, really slow! Hahaha! Maybe we'll be perfect for each other. You're pregnant, I'm slow. It's meant to be! haha! I told my mom about this blog and how this cool guy named Sasha created it and even served a mission where I served! You guys seem like the coolest couple! And I bet you are a great mom. What time do you usually run? I would love to meet you guys! Thanks for the invite. Talk to you soon!
