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.

49...ish...a little bit off...we went sub 10 and I felt tired at the end...I am getting old. It was sooo freezing today. My hands are crazy hands....I think all my warmth goes there. I can have freezing parts all over me but my  hands are sweating.

Gonna do two more this afternoon with my girls.

I taught a lesson in my ward about eating whole foods. Mostly went well. I was a little nervous for some reason. Usually I don't mind speaking in front of people. I was fine once I got warmed up.

At the end this lady that gave me a hard time the last time I spoke on Food Storage gave me a hard time again. I asked the women to bring the most unhealthy thing they had in their house to be donated to science.....Only a few ladies brought things and the lady that I dubbed the winner or the Biggest Loser because it was the unhealthiest didn't mind when I threw the packet of ramen noodles in the trash.....that was part of the game and part of the point.

Ramen noodles is a great example of cheap really really bad for you food. I happen to love them and grew up on them but they are full of everything that is bad for you and nothing redeeming except you won't starve if you eat them.

Another thing that I talked about was Cream of Chicken soup. That has just about everything bad for you in it too and is a staple in every Mormon cookbook ever printed.

I challenged the women to buy one healthy thing instead of a processed food they usually buy. Buy a bag of blueberries instead of those blueberry poptarts....for example. Maybe you ladies on the blog can try this too. Eating whole foods can be more expensive but you can make it work if you spend less money on processed foods.

49 minutes Felt good to run with Amanda after she was out for her wisdom teeth. Poor thing had to go in twice and it's been harder recovering this time.

The fast running mommy and fast running daddy (otherwise known as Sasha) have a joyous announcement to make...Sometime in October our fast running family will have a little addition. We are expecting our 6th child!!!  So looks like one more chick will be slowing down a bit for a very good cause. We are overjoyed.
