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.

I had a great weekend. I got to go camping with my kids and freeze to death and not sleep...why do people go camping...all the experts I talked to say that it gets better the rest of the trip. By the second third or fourth night you are so exhausted that you can sleep on rocks with scorpions climbing over you..hmm...sounds fun. 

I got to have most of my family over to my house for the first time in a long time. I loved being hostess and having a nice time with them. They are a fun bunch.

I got to play my flute with the ward choir and after practicing it a thousand times I was so happy to finally play it and express myself on a beautiful instrument.

I got to give a talk in sacrament meeting and really enjoyed that.

After doing everything the best part was to come back to my kiddos and be glad that I've chosen dishes of peach cobbler and stories and looking and the stars and disciplining and brushing teeth and all those things to anything else I could have chosen. I think I'm the luckiest lady in the world....and maybe the toughest. :)

We may have to call you "Sarah Sunshine" from now on :D I am so glad you had a wonderful weekend, camping and all :D You are the toughest woman that I have ever heard of :) Nice miles :)

you are a good friend. Thanks for checking up on me. I would love to be called Sarah Sunshine..my sister and I had a friend that called us the sunshine girls because we always sang "You Are My Sunshine". My sis would play the guitar and we figured out this crazy beautiful harmony for it. I still miss that.

Oh, man, camping is hard any day of the week---but especially pregnant! You are a trooper. And I can not believe you said that giving a talk at church was great, that is the stuff of nightmares from me. I get so nervous! I am sure you did great!

What a good mom you are.

And you got in 1/5 miles MORE than me this morning! You go girl! I'm the last one on the mileage board before the zeros today.

I've matured from my calling as ward organist. I get a panic attack every week unless I've played the song several times in the past I'm a nervous wreck. That is harder to do pregnant than camping or even speaking in church.

Kim-you are so funny...last before the zero's huh? I've been there. Are you okay?

Yah, I just needed an extra day of rest this week. I'll be back out there tomorrow. It will be a reduced week this week so it should help all that ails me.
