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.

Baaaaad ligament pain today. My body is mad at me already for not running those last two miles....that's where I get my endorphins I think. But when my legs feel like they are tearing away from my stomach what can I do...even walking hurts.   Better today than on Monday...I don't want to have to stop in the middle of the race. People will probably think I'm in labor if I even show any sign of pain. 

That used to happen to me when I was pregnant with Benjamin. I think since it was my first and my skin had lots of stretching to do the ligament pains were terrible. (I also think I don't have very stretchy skin either). I would get pains so bad that I could barely walk around the store some days. I'd get to the checkout..my face flushed and contorted with the pain and I'd be clutching my stomach. The clerk would look at me and probably think" Should I call 911?" I got a lot of funny looks and a few questions if I was in labor...sometimes it can be fun being pregnant, right?

Ok- since you are pregnant, we will humor you. I suppose pregncy can be "fun" :) hang in there, and I can't wait to see you monday.

I actually do enjoy being pregnant...it's like I get some kind of extra hormones that my body likes or something. In some ways I'm more cheerful when I'm pregnant. I mean don't get me wrong I'm grouchy and irritable with the best of them but I do enjoy a lot of it.

I've got cups, forks, spoons, and plates but I forgot napkins...do you have any already...I may have some somewhere but I have to admit I don't want to go back to the store for them because I went to four yesterday getting everything for my daughter's b-day party today. Let me know what you think. I guess I think we could survive without them(which is probably why I forgot about them in the first place) thanks for putting the party together...I'm looking forward to it too.

Perfect Sarah! I have got two packs of napkins! We are going to have SO much fun! Yipee!!!!

I HAVE TONS OF NAPKINS!!! I will bring them.

Take care of yourself this weekend, rest up. Have everyone pamper you. You will be the fastest 8 month pregnant lady in the race, so I think you should get a prize! A MONEY one!

I love being pregnant also, so I hear ya! I think I feel better when I am pregnant than at any other time. So, I am glad you love it, especially since this is the 6th time!

Thanks Kelli!

I was always SO excited to finally be pregnant that I really loved it until I turned into Phycho Wife/Mom. I could see David telling himself, "Just ignore her, this wont last forever, go to the happy place."

I am just a peach when I am pregnant. My husband probably wishes I could just stay pregnant forever. I told him I would if he would get a better paying job so we could afford more kids (and a nanny and a chef!)
