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'm going to add another one this afternoon with Juila...they are always so excited to run with me. 

Well, I told Sasha he couldn't write about the funny thing I did yesterday...I didn't say I couldn't write about it.

We ordered our oats for our food storage in bulk and picked them up yesterday(that's a whole other story) We usually fill 11 5 gallon buckets with our year's supply of oats.

I guess I miscalculated because the 400 pounds I thought our family needed for a year filled over 21 buckets (we still have one opened bag). Those were all the buckets we had for all of the food we store. (popcorn, lentils, beans, wheat, rice...etc)

It is one of our favorite times together as a family when we open up those big bags of oats and scoop them into buckets. Even little Joseph could help and cried when we ran out of buckets!! We had fun following the prophet yesterday....

One take on food storage that my sister has is that if she has more than she needs she will take that opportunity to share with neighbors that do not have any food stored in an emergency...so...anybody need oatmeal, granola or any other form of oats...we gotcha covered.

Wow, Im impressed. No fiber problem at your house! I think it is great you take the time to run with your kids. Great example.

We all need to learn from you with the food storage! It was so nice to meet you this past weekend!

Sarah (or Marcie did you get one?)- I would like a copy of the pic we took last weekend with all of us. Can you email it to me? miklhack at hotmail.com. Thanks!

I'd love to give pointers on food storage. I could write up an article and post it. I love eating food storage and garden produce. I have a strong testimony of the wise council of our prophet in giving us these guidelines. The church website is a great place to start when you want to get your food storage going...or the local food storage guru in your ward.

Mik'L....we can't find our connector thingy to plug our digital camera into the computer...it's gonna be a few days before we get around to getting the pictures up..either that thing will show up or we'll go buy another...sorry...my kids do slow me down in some things.
