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.

We went fast today...unfortunately I didn't have the Garmin so we aren't quite sure but we were flying...got a little tired at the end. Sasha will probably write about this too but it's too funny...

Yesterday at FHE Julia taught a lesson about love. She starts out saying," Love is important and people love each other. The most expensive kind of love is....marriage."

Sasha and I were doubled up..how funny..how true...so in honor of this well known fact but not commonly uttered by baby's lips I drew a picture of Sasha and I holding hands. I have a thought bubble coming from my head with images of rings, houses, and other expensive things...Sasha has a frown on his face with dollar signs floating around in his thought bubble...poor guys..they have no idea what they are getting into ...do they? Sasha and I have had quite a few laughs about it....

I sound like you are really coming along with running.

Kids say the funniest, most honest thing don't they. I love it.

Cute story! So true...

I thought about you today, Sarah! I went to our stake humanitarian day and actually (prepare for a shock) sewed something! I did a simple quilt top--but of course I had to choose material that was purple because it STILL had the thread in it that YOU had helped me put in! Remember that purple napkin? Ha ha. One of these days I'm going to have to bite the bullet and learn how to thread that thing. Until then--bring on the purple crafts! I'm a seamstress, kind of...

Good job on your running! Sounds like 5 is getting pretty easy for you if you are starting to "fly". I still mostly am slogging through 5, but hopefully someday soon I'll be able to add some speed.

Hey! I just saw that I made your "favorite blogs" list. I'm honored!

That is too cute! Reminds me I need to get in FHE this week. Jim works most Monday nights so we are always shuffling to find the best night for FHE. I just made a cute FHE wood assignment board (at Super Saturday) to hopefully help me keep focused. (Oh yeah- and good job with the fast 5 miler today- chuckle...sometimes I have to remind myself this is a running blog!)

Very cute story! Comedy relief from children is the very best kind! How is it that you are getting so fast? I seem to be totally stuck in the mud, so to speak!!

I think that your way more consistant than me, your a great motivator, thanks!

That is a cute story...I got a laugh out of it anyway! And flying on a 5 miler...that's impressive!

What a cute family...and loving life (from what I can tell in the picture). I glad Michelle told me about the blog.

You must be a natural at running while pregnant! I've run through both of my pregnancies...fairly well. However, I know I will need your support and encouragement once I am again pregnant (likely sooner than later)! I hate being sleep deprived and feeling (and looking) like a whale. Good thing we forget most of the pain from one child to the next!

I loved Julia's explanation. I can just picture you telling me this story on a run. What a wonderful and sad thought! I miss you! That's it! I am going to call you tomorrow. Talk to you soon.

From sarah on Wed, Nov 07, 2007 at 23:12:37

I know...I miss you too...so much. I've finally decided to try and just love Amanda for her and stop comparing her to you. She is WONDERFUL...but definitely not you and it's painful. I would have totally told you that story and shown you the picture I drew and we would have snorted and hehawed about it while Will giggled in the stroller wondering what was so funny!!
