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.

I finally ran today for the first time in a couple of days. It felt good but I wore myself out quickly. I also want to rest before the baby comes. I've been getting a lot of housework done too...cleaning out the car, under the beds, the junk drawer, the cabinets....etc.

I ran for about a quarter while Benjamin was pushing the double stroller for me. After he wimped out and then got stung by a bee and was screaming I was on my own.

I think being nine months pregnant pushing 50 pounds in the stroller counts for a pretty fair workout.

Pushed a stroller for a quarter mile walking, then met Sasha and he took the stroller. Ran the rest of the way. Was able to speed up to about 12:00 pace at the end. Felt good.

I ran for a little bit but was having some stomach problems.

I'm really amazed that I can run at all. This is my first pregnancy that I've haven't been just walking the last couple of weeks.

I had some contractions yesterday so I took it easy today to conserve my energy and walked the entire way. A neighbor saw me and said, "You must be getting really close becase you sure have slowed down."

I ran most of the mile after resting the last couple of days.

No baby yet. Someone tells me I'm amazing almost every day for being out there moving. I think everyone who choses to do something good with their body can be amazing too.

Funny how running doesn't put me into labor. Everyone I know tells me to go for a walk and when I told them I've already been for a run they get real quiet and don't know what to say.

I did a mile by myself in the morning. Then in the evening Sasha and I went to the canyon. We were just walking trying to get my contractions going stronger (I had had contractions since early morning).

Then for the fun of it we decided to try a 100 meter time trial. I did the first in 42 I think...Sasha's better at remembering times. I told him that that was not as fast as I could go. Then I tried another a little bit later and did 9:20 pace with a time of 35 seconds.

Sasha was impressed. I'm sure many pregnant women could have pulled it off it's just not something women want to try when they are that big.

I ran and walked with Sasha escorting me today. He has been so sweet and attentive these last few days. We think the baby is coming tomorrow. The midwife said I'm at an 8 right now and that she can break my water tomorrow morning. The labor should be quick and we should have a baby by lunchtime.

Wish us luck!!!
