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.

Had a hard time getting up this morning. I slept okay but was still pretty tuckered from the sleepless night before.

I will try to get some more miles in this afternoon...but I'm not optimistic...when I have extra counts against me that's when I have to say okay..I'm pregnant...take a break.

I do however agree more and more as the years go on with Sasha's thinking. Taking a break doesn't always makes things easier. In the long run if you take enough breaks you get out of shape. I am grateful that I didn't take very many breaks before I got pregnant this time. 5 a day really has given me a fairly strong body. So when I'm pregnant and tired running 2 is a break for me.

I have a funny story I like to tell about when I was pregnant with Joseph. I only ran 2 miles that day so I'd have the energy to mow the law later. I came home from my run and started mowing..then the Compassionate service leader walked by. I turned the mower off and told her (with my big pregnant belly protuding) that I'd only run 2 miles so I had the energy to do it and that was okay. She gawked a bit and went on her merry way. 2 minutes later the Relief Society president walked by. This time I just kept the mower running, smiled and waved.

I finished all 5. I'm proud of myself. I was sick and tired still but I did it. I feel great now actually. I'm excited to see Lybi.

I haven't had a lot of RSVP's for the open house/party. Please come if you want to see Lybi even if you haven't called ahead.

Way to go! I am proud of you. It is not easy to run while pregnant but you and baby will be more healthful for it. I am smiling because I am so proud that you stuck it out! You are strong.

Thanks...actually as I finished the second run today my body was already thanking me..I felt energized and happy. Too bad you aren't local...we'd love to have you over this weekend. Maybe we can talk you into a Utah race someday. :)
