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.

Good day for running..bad day for labor...I guess I'm going to Education Week today. Whenever I go I let myself have one long day. I'm meeting my midwife for lunch (she's going too) and I'll try to convince her to not talk baby with me at all. Yesterday she said he feels like a solid one...8 pounds at least....When I went 5 days overdue with Jacob he ended up being 9' 5!   Sasha showed me off to a Kenyan he happened to be running with today..."That's my wife and she's due in 4 days." with pride sparkling in his eyes (gotta love it). He thinks Patrick didn't understand from the blank stare. I think he just wasn't impressed thinking..so what..my mom walks 10 miles to the market while in labor..has the baby on the way..buys some fruit and comes home again to make dinner and feed the animals.

You made me smile today Sarah! Kenyans are definitely tough, but you must be part Kenyan because you are pretty dang tough yourself! Enjoy your day and soon you will be holding that new little bundle of joy! I'm sure he will have Kenyan in him too!

Thanks Kim...maybe I am part Kenyan when I'm pregnant..I am pretty tough...but I don't think I could do the Good Earth thing of going back into the fields afterwards..I always take a well deserved rest :)

I hope all goes well with the baby's birth and that you don't have any problems. I'll have to come down and hold him one day.

I hope all goes well with the baby. We are expecting sometime in March so we are excited, babies bring so much joy.

It's been a few days since your last post, I hope that means you have safely delivered and are now on your way to the market and feeding the cattle (hey, you are as tough as any Kenyan).

No it just means I'm too depressed to write the words..I am still pregnant..and running..thank you. It's my due date today and I now have made it to my due date in 5 out of 7 pregnancies. I'll try to see if Sasha will buy me some cows tonight!
