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.

wow..somehow I got way behind on my blogging. I don't know what happened exactly but somewhere I lost a week. I've been feeling good this week..no tightness in my legs..which is so wonderful. I think that may hurt worse than any running related pain I can imagine.  I think they feel better when I take my prenatal vitamins..so far so good. 

I've been reading Fablehaven with my kids..well..they read and then I read. They are good enough readers that they don't need to wait for me. It is good...of course....can't put it down. :)

My legs felt so good today and I felt strong BUT..my uterus was not happy and I had to walk most of the way home.

Mary ran with me the whole way today..that was fun. She didn't have to get home at a certain time because of her husband's schedule. I am spoiled with Sasha's schedule. I never have to worry about getting things done at a certain time for the most part...makes me pretty lazy..and able to take care of my brood without going too bonkers.

Mary wanted to turn around a little early and I felt good with 4.5..getting further along and don't need to run a full 5 every day to feel like I got a workout. :)

Got a little lazy and turned around early..maybe that was good though since I had some braxton hicks at the end...I need to get back to taking my vitmins...got lazy with that. My appetite has been down this week so I wasn't taking them because I was afraid they would give me a stomach ache if my stomach wasn't full.

I don't think I can get back to 5 again this pregnancy..mentally I just HAVE to turn around a tiny bit early to get the torture over. Not that it's always torture..just sometimes. I felt really tired at the beginning and just wanted to go home and go back to bed..AND THEN..of course..I woke up and got energized and felt wonderful at the end.

good day..Jenny ran with me and then I ran the second half with my little Julia who usually runs with Daddy. She kept saying stuff like,"This feels like walking."

Oh..the pain...I had the exploding leg syndrome today and I've sworn to not run through it during this pregnancy if I can help it. So...I cut back a little. When I'm good about taking my vitamins I don't have any leg pain..when I'm not..oooooooooo it really really hurts. 

I need to vent about the near accident I had. I'm wondering if there is someone in the construction hiearchy I can talk to.  I almost got into a bad accident on Saturday when my lane ended with very very little warning. I was in the carpool lane when I saw a sign to merge into the next lane. They had those big barrels up for a little while to close our lane. The thing is they didn't give us very much notice..maybe 1/2 mile to a mile..seems like you usually get more notice and a couple of signs. And the real problem with giving the carpool lane little notice is that you are merging into the fastest lane with all the guys who must have a death wish....So I had like 30 seconds to get over and the cars in the third lane WOULD NOT LET me over. I had to honk like crazy, get over or crash into those giant barrels at 70 miles an hour. It was terrifying.  I'm actually scared to drive in the carpool lane now for fear of that happening again. And I wonder if it is going to happen alot with the upcoming construction on 1-15

My legs still hurt really badly today but I felt I needed to finish my run. My partner was patient and that helped.

woke up late today..my knee was hurting so I went easy and I was having trouble running half asleep. I would have pushed through the half asleep feeling but the knee worried me...I don't often have knee issues so I think I'll baby it.

good run overall. Ran with Jenny and GeriAnn ( a lady from our ward that is the sweetest primary teacher you've ever seen)..Jenny has had her and LOVED her.
