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 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.

Glad to hear you had a great run. You take care of yourself and be kind to yourself too!

I was just reading your blog and Mac said, "We've been to their house and their baby's name is Will"
Nice run today :) All runs that feel normal are good miles :)
I made some homemade granola bars and thought you might like them. They call for brown sugar and when I made them without, they were not as good. I wonder if they could be made with just twice the honey? Have you ever made granola bars?

I've made breakfast bars and granola but not granola bars. I think you could substitute honey for brown sugar. I use a liquid sweetener in my granola and that always works out. It may be different in actual bars though. I've started buying a brown sugar at Good Earth that I like a lot. Maybe more expensive and a pain to go to Good Earth if you aren't there much. They sell Evaporated Cane Juice at Costco for 79 cents a pound..love that stuff. Sasha tried it during his last marathon and thinks it's a great energy drink replacement. Hope that helps. :)

Thanks Sarah :) What is in the brown sugar from the Good Earth? I need to get over there, I am out of my granola making stuff. I am now totally addicted to my home made granola. Mmmmmm... These bars are good too, but lots of calories :( all of the running in the world does not quite make up for how many granola bars I would like to eat :) Why does the moderation thing seem to be easier for men?
