Fast Running Mommy

I feel like I'm ready to start running 5 now and then..mostly it's time issues holding me back. I have to get up earlier but my body likes to sleep in if I'm tired- 7:20 is sleeping in for me.

super sad news today....A guy I knew in Russia died in a motorcycle accident...I personally don't like motorcycles..my dad nearly died in an accident as a teenager and taught me to fear them....my mom taught me to fear dogs....anyway....I think the worst part of the whole story is that he was married to this great girl I knew from Russia(they were missionaries while I was living there as a teenager.  They had six kids together...I feel so badly for the kids....super sad...sorry to depress anyone who may already be down.

Let's just be grateful for what we have...Happy 4th!!!

My kids and Sasha marched in the Grande Parade in downtown Provo. I made Russian costumes for the girls and some friends also and they represented Russians who have found freedom in America. Our float..made by members of our Stake won and award for best entry by and non-profit organization. It was a mountain with an eagle on top. 

I ran two miles at home and then ran with the stroller....in the heat back and forth from the parade. We had a perfect day yesterday. It was fun with lots of fun family memories that I hope will stay with my kids their whole lives. Alot of my days I think about the memories that my kids will have of that day. Of course there are days where mom is mad or just not really all there but usually I try and make the day something I want my kids to remember. I'm probably an expert at that as much as Sasha is at running.....he doesn't really handle the memory department but works hard to teach our kids consistency and discipline. 

Funny..I thought I logged this already. Did three in the morning and then felt really good last night so I did another 2. The whole family went out together and that was so fun. I pushed Jacob for half of it and Sasha pushed Joseph and Julia. Benjamin pushed Jacob for the other half. It really  is fun having kids in such good shape that we can not only run together but they run Mom into the ground if we race...

I had a nice normal run today with Adrianne.....ouch...hurts to mention her...she's moving to Iowa in a few weeks. I hope she starts blogging but you won't really understand how lovely a person she is through type. She's helpful and cheerful and has the cutest dimples...it's just fun being around her. I'll get over having a great running partner I'm sure but I just needed to vent a little.

I have that lethargic feeling I get every once in awhile tonight...not because I'm tired but because I'm horribly bored and in need of adult contact but can't really think of a way to get any. My kids are watching  cartoon I have NO interest in and Sasha is going for a second run....help...won't someone come over and save me from Donald Duck and running shoes.....okay..I know I'm a little crazy tonight but I thought it would be better if I showed a little personality in these entries...it's therapeutic for me and entertaining for you.

Did my four in the morning by myself and then Sasha and I went on a date together that night....he ran and I watched in awe from my bike...yes I've been married to him 10 +years and I've even gone on a bike with him before but I guess as I mature and realize that I will NEVER run like that I really am amazed at how strong he is....now if I could only get him to learn ballroom dancing he'd be the perfect husband....you and James have it all Lybi!!
