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.

Just two today. On my second PB stop(that is private without the virtual ...one of the perks of running around the block) I heard happy I'm awake noises coming from the 2 year old. So I had to call it a day early again. It's okay because I'm taking my kids to the Dinosaur Museum today and I think that counts. Last week I took them to Liberty Park water park..it's a playground with water..fun and free, Seven Peaks, Fat Cats Bowling Alley and Temple Square. This required amazing ablility to feed them quickly while still trying to make something besides PB and J and an ability to completely ignore my house...which I have to say I'm not a clean freak but I'm not a complete slob either and it does bother me to see it dirty and not have time to clean it. I stayed up late on Saturday night because I was not going to wake to a filthy house. Then last night me and the kids cleaned the entire house. My nine year old is amazing...he cleaned the toy room and vacuumed the entire downstairs. Some of the jobs I have them do just as a matter of course..you live here...you help clean up. Then if they are hot to trot I give them extra jobs for treats (like a juice box or fruit leather) to help with the million extra jobs 5 children home all the time create. I think that may be the biggest challenge of homeshcool...cleaning up...

Sarah,

Have you ever made homemade rice cereal? I was thinking of trying and figured yo might know? Let me know. Thanks,

Kendra

I guess I haven't because I'm not sure what you are talking about? Do you mean like rice krispies? I have studied about making rice krispies but didn't find anyway of making them unless you have complicated professional equiptment that cooks the rice at high pressure. I do however often rice and eat it with milk and cinnamon at breakfast. Hope that helps a bit. Let me know.

Whew! Quite a day. How was the museum? Is it crowded on Tuesdays (since it is cheaper)? We have it on the calendar for next Tuesday.

And 2 miles is 2 miles! More than most 31 week pregnant women even dream of doing!

Mike...you genius...of course she was talking about homemade baby rice cereal(since she has a baby). I do wish I could make my own rice krispies....ever heard of anyone doing that?

Kelli-It was VERY VERY VERY crowded but somehow it was still enjoyable. My friend went right when it opened and it was actually more crowded then (can't imagine how but she said it had started to thin out when we got there and she was leaving) You'll still have a great time and the price is right.
