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 got 2.5 in around the block in the rain..didn't get soaked as bad this time.

The braxton hicks I had the other night really scared me. I researched a little and saw that many women experience them during pregnancy but that it is a sign you should stop. I can't seem to remember getting them as intensely as I did the other night. I even starting doing what every woman does...fearing for my child. I don't know if it's because I ran at night. I was fine today besides just the ol' tired legs from getting fatter syndrome. I guess I'll just have to play it by ear.

 

later:

I ran 3 miles total today..woo hoo..I added a big .5 tonight. I'm still paranoid about braxton hicks but mostly it was because my legs KILL me at night. i guess I'm heavier from all the food of the day and my body just groans beneath the extra weight that seems to keep coming on every day.  I walked a mile at the race. I couldn't run because I had the double stroller and I'm not into pushing the kids in the stroller pregnant. ( I did do that once 8 months pregnant at a pretty fast prego pace and didn't go into labor or keel over) but I was a bit younger and dumber then.

Take care of yourself! You have that same die hard attitude as Sasha! When are you expecting?

I'm due October 24th.

Your legs might be hurting when you run at night because they are full of fluid from standing and chasing children around all day. The morning runs are better because you have been horizontal for several hours and your body is giving the fluid a chance to distribute over your entire body. Take care of you. Don't fret - Your child will be very healthy because you have run during your pregnancy. Also, among my group of running friends, there are about 5 of us with children under 2 and they were all "easy" babies. We have determined from our not-so-scientific sample, that it is because we all ran before and then either ran or exercised in some way while we were pregnant. Happy pregnancy. I didn't catch it, but did you find out the gender or not or will you?

Ignore my question on the gender. I just caught up. Congratulations!!!! A boy!

Enjoy Africa for all of us here. Is Honey coming too or will he be home with Bubbles? I think that's fascinating that you won't be able to run at one of your lodges for fear of being hunted...We know a man in our neighborhood who grew up in South Africa on a game preserve. He has lots of great stories. Probably the best was when he shot some kind of bird (can't remember) just for fun and his uncle (a professional hunter) made him go and bury that bird.

Honey and Bubbles are going. They are going to relax the first week in Durban while I have to give three speeches. Then hopefully, Bubbles will be over the jet lag and my parents are going to meet us in Capetown and then we all go on safari in northern South Africa.
