| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| 2.5 with my favorite running partner Jenny! and 2.5 with my new running partner baby X who kept me up all night hungry..my tummy hurt all night. I'm not a super good eater so at the beginning of my pregnancy I struggle with morning sickness mainly because I can't think of anything I want to eat! | | Add Comment |

| No pregnancy legs today. Felt light and easy today. I haven't had to slow down too much yet. Usually I slow down by a minute a mile sometime in the first part of my pregnancy and maintain that for a few months..then by about 30 weeks I'm down to a crazy slow mile and should probably just be walking but I usually tough it out and pretend to run until I deliver that bambino. I'm going to really enjoy having people shocked that I have 7. I have some friends with 7 that look like they should..I have a couple that cheated by having twins... My first fun was at the mall yesterday when a lady said I didnt' look old enough to have 7. I guess I should say what Kelli's husband likes to say.."We started when we were 12" I actually had my first when I was 24..so not super super young...just been having them fast and furious ;)

| Jenny has been running with me most days. I've written off the lady in my neighborhood who was running with me...why can't people be consistent? Okay...I can't be consistent because of all my kids...6 did me in..5 I was okay..but I don't pretend to be either. She has only one and it's bugging me that she comes one day and then tells me the other days she decided "to not worry about it"....well..I was worrying about it and lost sleep and time over it....grrrrrr I'm starving today. Maybe it is a boy..I will love another boy...honestly I don't care..I love my girls...I love my boys...it's just been so long since we had a girl..Julia will be 8 when this baby is born...come on bows..come on fluffy dresses...

| i had a crazy full of energy day yesterday..dragging a tiny bit today but it was fun to have Jenny with me. Sasha probably won't let her run with me too much longer since I'm slowing her down so much..sigh...but I definitely want what's best for her. | | Comments(2) |

| long lonely run today...Well..actually it wasn't that lonely. There were tons of people on the trail. I ran later today. Needed to sleep in. Babies kept me up coughing all night. It was warmer today but kind of annoying..kept taking my jacket off then putting it back on..taking it off... | | Add Comment |

| I woke up bright and early..to the WRONG alarm. Sasha had his set for 5:45 and I thought it was mine for 6:45. I got a lot of scripture study done and got some laundry started. Then I still had time to do half my run before running with Jenny and Mary. Mary..a lady in my ward...has PROMISED to run with me every day this week. She's begging me to wake her up and make her run. Okay..so I'm committed to waking up on time now too. I think I should be able to handle it since the morning sickness is pretty much gone. | | Add Comment |

| got up early again today. i actually LOVE it when I can get up early. I feel happier..that is..if it doesn't completely exhaust me. 2.5 by myself and 2.5 with Mary and Jenny. Funny but I prefer having Jenny all to myself. She doesn't chatter as much when there is someone else there. Mary however is determined to get out the door everyday and has given me permission to force her to go with me. She has promised she will go and if she doesn't then she wants me to come and bang on her window and wake her up. I told her where my bedroom window was too and she's had to use it a couple of times. Makes me feel like highschool girls waking eachother up for school....

| Mary has been getting out every day this week..good girl. I've been getting up early every day this week. I finish my run by 7:45..which is when I was waking up before...I love being able to get going early..it makes me feel accomplished..yet I won't do it at the sacrifice of my overall health. So I'm grateful that I've been able to get up and still feel okay. | | Comments(1) |

| 2.5 alone. 2.5 with Jenny and Mary. I'm getting a cold and wondering if it's from waking up early every day. I will sleep in tomorrow and a little on Sunday. We have church at 9. I have a friend that got nominated to be young mother of the year. She is totally deserving of it and we'll see if it amounts to anything. I'm still a little in shock that I'm pregnant with my 7th child. It is exciting and sobering.
