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.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.00	0.00	3.00

Well...what can I say...it was too exciting for the kids this morning..I woke them up so they could see the balloons and have our traditional fourth of july picnic breakfast. The only difference was that Benjamin made the pancakes by himself this morning....That's how I got any running in at all....I will I will I will try to run more tonight. I'm starting to get worried about weight gain....no matter what I do I eat more and gain a ton when I'm pregnant...so I need to keep up some kind of mileage mostly because my body is used to it...

i got in 1.5 more with Julia walking and jogging by my side. Luckily she didn't comment on how slow I was going. I told her the baby could come out early if I went fast and she accepted that and didn't talk about the pace. I can barely stand going so slow but when someone is constantly telling you it's slow...oh..it's bad...

Hope everyone has a Happy Fourth...we are having a good day and looking forward tonight

I think your whole family is related to the energizer bunny! You all just keep going and going and going......

I'm very impressed that you are still running in this heat and in your pregnancy. Take care to not overdo it.

I was so impressed with your sub 24 today Kim...gives me something to shoot for after I recover from this baby...next 4th.

It was overcast this evening..the only way I could get out. I actually melt in the heat even when I'm not pregnant. I also ran slow enough for my daughter to walk beside me but thanks for the support and concern.

Sarah, you are doing so great! And did I see a competitive streak there with shooting to beat Kim's time? :) All the while you telling us you don't like racing and just racing for fitness! Kim, look out after Sarah recovers from the baby!
