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 got all 5 in but I couldn't beat the 11:30 girl today...sigh. I think that cough knocked something out of me that I may not get back. I'm thinking of cutting down to 4 a day. I don't want to be out exercising for longer than I was before I got pregnant....doesn't make sense somehow.

Did all 5 this morning. I felt better than yesterday so I think I'll stick with 5 a day for now. I just hope I can beat the 11 minute mile girl again soon. I don't like running slower than 11 right now because I'm not that far along. I have to try and hang onto what I have and not get too slow or lazy.

5 on the trail...amazing run...for a pregnant lady that is. I warmed up for oh...a long 2.5 and then I felt great. I averaged almost 10 minute mile pace the last 2.5...felt so good to get those endorphins. yay.

All five in the morning then. I'm feeling so much better I'm almost scared to breathe and break the spell...no cough...no morning sickness..I'm eating like a normal person again and I ran 52:45...great time again. 

I made sugar strawberries this morning to put on top of breakfast and Jacob is upstairs screaming for me to put an 8th serving of strawberries on top of his untouched oats.

52:32 I actually kind of pushed it a little at the end...wanted to beat my time yesterday. I wouldn't really overdo. Mostly I just listen for signs of distress in the general stomach area and if things feel okay there I'm good to go...and if I don't really feel like I'm working too hard. I obviously won't be doing any tempo runs but it was okay to play a mild game of beat the clock. 

Joseph has decided he's a baby again this morning...after three great days of potty training he thinks he needs a break.

You would think that I would feel bad about not running that last .10 but I really gave it all I've got and that's just all there was. I may be off a little and actually ran all 5 because my Garmin stopped...but I don't think so. I had to stop and walk what normally is the last 100 meters of my run...I was just done. Sometimes that happens when I'm pregnant and it's okay. I should have run this morning but I stayed up late. I can never go to bed when Sasha isn't there. He did great on his race..be sure to read his report. :)
