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.

Some skinny people are lazier than heavy people...Not a politically correct statement but this is still a free country. I'm actually just speaking about myself so I guess I shouldn't have made a blaknet statement. I think the first part of my pregnancy is hard on me because I'm naturally lazy about eating. I look at it as more work so I do the bare minimum required (unless it's Oreo Cheescake..that is my one failing). Then when I'm pregnant I have to eat 3-5 times as much and the sheer work of it kills me. It's worse than running to me....mostly because I have to think about every bite I put in my mouth, worry if it's healthy, and then decide if I'm going to like it once it's there.....vent vent vent.

I woke up late but feel MUCH better today than I did yesterday. I'm going to finish with 2.5 miles this afternoon with the girls.

Sasha fed the kids breakfast and I got three more in...I feel so good today I can't believe I'm in the same body I was in yesterday.

I am glad you are feeling better today!

I just relized tomorrow is Friday, I was planning on comming over to help you with your quilting. Time flies!

oh good...I'm glad you remembered. I'm really looking forward to it and may have to start having some girls nights be a regular thing I do. I'm good at taking me time. I'm regular at going to the temple with my husband and I spend quality time with my kids but I never really get girl time. Maybe we can set something up for running on Saturday while you are overr.

Sounds good!

I try to go out with my sisters and mom once a month, but we don't always see eye to eye on certain things and so it is not regular. I enjoy the time. An adult conversation is just greatly needed after spending every day 24 hours with a house full of kids.

I do have my young women that I enjoy once a week. They are a breath of fresh air to me. (most of the time)

Hey Sarah...

I was just going to ask how long you keep running through your pregnancies most the time. You are in much better shape than me... cause I certainly don't run much... but I would like to keep running at least a little bit most days for as long as I can. I've heard of women running all the way through, but I thought I'd ask someone who has experienced it all first hand.

Thanks for the tips! You're an amazing woman. I'm hoping I can get to that kind of running stage for my future pregnancies since it's a little late for this one. But I'll just keep plugging away as my body lets me. Thanks again for all the help.
