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.

Got some good sleep last night and a nice long Sunday nap yesterday..so I was awake before six and thought, "I guess I'll go for my run today." I wasn't planning on it yesterday. I just want to shut myself up somewhere and sit and sulk.

Sasha gave me a blessing last night and the first thing he said was that I would have peace of mind. I believe that I will and that I will stop worrying. Thank you Sasha for being a righteous preisthood holder and having that power.

Quote of the day, " Do not be fractious with the children" Joseph Smith to Emma Smith when he was in Liberty Jail. She was pregnant and taking care of her own four children and an orphan living with them. I'll bet if her prophet husband reminded her to not be "fractious", even though she was alone, pregnant and exhausted....I'll bet she was as sweet as pie to those little guys. So at least I've got a husband with me, maybe I'll try to be less fractious today. :)

fractious: tending to be unruly, cranky, irritable.

Hang in there, Sarah! I am sure no matter how the labor and delivery turn out, William will be the sweetest boy ever.

Like ice on your arm, huh? Good thing Will came early, so I didn't have to go to those classes.

How early was Will? The thing that killed me about the class," Natural Childbirth" was that the lady had never had it...I don't mind if people get epidurals..it's none of my business of course...but don't teach a natural childbirth class...please.

I need to get your phone number again so I can call you during my recovery..you are great therapy for me. Give me a call or write me a message with you number. Thanks :)

My Will came 3 weeks early :)

The night before Ford (my fourth) was born I was inconsolable with worry and fear. DAvid gave me a blessing and it made ALL the difference.

Hang in there! All will be well!

Lucky duck!! Well actually I'm really glad he didn't come three weeks early...that would have been St. George weekend and I was beside myself then when Sasha calmly left me alone with a giant baby in my tummy!! I am feeling much better after the blessing. I've gone back to a normal routine and am just enjoying the last few days with my kids before I have to hide from them for awhile to be able to recover from the birth. Thanks Marion.

My Aunt used to say she would have loved to been able to go up to a cabin in the woods alone with the baby for a good long while to recover and just enjoy the baby. It really is a special time. I hope your recovery is your best yet. :)

That is the best quote I have ever read!! I totally need to be better at that---every minute of every day!

Hang in there!
