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.

Someone called the cops on our street about some teenagers disturbing the peace. So when the cop saw two figures clinging to eachother in the dark of the early morning he must have thought he found his teenagers making out. Too bad it turned out to be me and Sasha. I was having such bad pelvic pain this morning that I couldn't even move. Sasha came to my rescue and I held onto him for a second...until we were rudely disturbed by a police car parking in front of us with his headlights in our faces. He got out and I guess couldn't tell how old we were or what we were doing for a second....when he determined we weren't the troublemakers, asked us to keep our eye out for them. Sasha ended up having to get the car to drive me home today. I'm going to try and go out again because I'm sure those weren't contractions now and see if Mr. Willy Billy Boo has decided to move his head up a bit and let Mom walk.

Sasha's probably still laughing about the cop thing and I know he's still laughing about what happened to us in the temple last night. As we were walking up he said that people were always thinking he was going to have his first child. I scoffed at that comment and said nobody would think that anymore. Near the end of the sealing session, the sealer asked us, "Is this your first child?" Sasha and I couldn't help burst out laughing thinking of our earlier conversation.... I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Sixth!" You should have seen the look on his face! Nice to stay in shape and keep young! Good day to everyone out there in blogging land.

I ended up getting a mile in....feeling okay just a little stressed because I've got Juila's b-day party today and my kids seem to think I'm a robot on their birthdays....maybe we need to slow things down on birthdays and talk about how mommy's 8 months pregnant are not robots.

Sorry about the pelvic pain Sarah, but what a great story it made!! I am pretty sure the policeman was suprised!!

Good luck with the midwife today, it sounds like you are having your typically busy day!

Funny sealing story!! I am so sorry about the pelvic pain. Did they do a pelvic exam yesterday? That can often bring on some new pains. Hang in there. Good thing the cops came by. You might have needed them :)

Thanks girls...it wasn't too bad, it was just that I couldn't move. I wasn't grateful for the cops...I was annoyed that they stopped and stared at us for 5 minutes before getting out of the car. I thought it was rude to get interrupted and interrogated during my pain just because they were having trouble doing their job and finding the teenagers!

Oh my goodness! That qualifies as one of the most eventful runs ever!

You are in danger of getting a ticket for being too tough of a pregnant lady, or looking too young to have 6 kids: multiple counts of exercise-induced-amazingness.

People are always shocked at our ages too, especially here in Texas where most people don't even start having kids until their 30s. I can't wait to see the shocked look on people's faces when they ask Andrea if the one she is carrying now is her first, and she calmly says "no, it's my fifth..." Now, you take care of yourself, Sarah!
