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 might have gone more like 4.6-4.8 today ...not sure. It was raining hard in my window of time to run today so I opted for the indoor track since Sasha was actually running later today...thank goodness I didn't have to run around the block in the rain...I think I would of had another low mileage day.

My legs hurt for the first half an hour. I sped up for the last half to a nice brisk pace and even started passing people that had been lapping me my first 2 miles...I always wonder at this stage if people realize I'm pregnant or just think I'm fat.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I always thought when people saw me out running when I was pregnant they would think "look the cubby girl is trying to lose weight. Good for her." I wanted a shirt that said I pregnant not fat.

Once I saw a lady wearing a shirt that said, "fat, not pregnant". Either way, people are impressed as they see you pass them by, I'm sure!

I always wondered that mid-pregnancy, too. I also wanted to wear a sign and then I thought, oh well, who cares? I know I'm pregnant, that's enough.

It is very inspirational that you continue to run while pregnant, even to those who just read about your runs!
