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 must still be tired from the race....or 33 weeks pregnant. I couldn't get my legs going. Good run all considering but I have to decide how to play the game the rest of my pregnancy.
Anyone who has been pregnant or has had a pregnant wife knows that the Pregnant woman will play the game ANY WAY SHE WANTS! :D You do whatever you want and that is the perfect way to handle the next few weeks!
7 weeks to go...you are almost there and he is almost here!
Way to be still movin'! You did 4 miles, so I think you got your legs moving. You are awesome. Do you like walking? That would be easier on the pregnant body.
I kind of have to make sure I don't underdo the last few weeks as I really do have an addictive relationship to running or wogging I guess as I'm doing now. If I underdo I feel a serious lack of motivation to do things and then I don't sleep as well at night...so I just have to find that balance between over and under and it gets tricker as your baby gets bigger inside you...thanks for the comments...you guys keep me motivated.
Well, you are doing great! Keep woggling along. You are wise, you will know when to quit, and maybe that day will never come with this baby--ya just never know.
