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.

As I stare at all the 5 milers from this month I can't help wondering if Mik'L is going to try and convince me to run 6 or 7 or more every once in awhile. I really think I'll be pregnant soon(of course Murphy's Law states I won't) I didn't think I'd have Jacob so soon after Joseph was born but lo and behold we have a darling Jacob. Now that I'm terribly baby hungry I probably won't get pregnant for awhil.  I have never miscarried and wonder if I will. I'm a little anxious about it but figure it is a painful experience (mostly emotionally) that girls go through as they pass on to womanhood. I guess I'm not a real woman yet. But I love the things I've been through and what I've learned that give me what I called on Michelle's blog as Woman Power. You don't have any without passing through a few trials so age is not important..it's what you've learned from what you've been through. Okay...enough philosophy..I'm going to work on a project..have a great Saturday everybody.

Hi Sarah,

It was great to see you this morning! You know, the whole reason I am running a marathon this year is because in the spring I wanted to have a baby but my husband wasn't ready. So I decided I would bear a marathon and have an October 6th due date! I feel inadequate to have more kids, which is a trial of its own in a Mormon community: what kind of woman are you if you can only handle three kids? My best friend, who is not a runner at all, has had miscarriage after miscarriage. I think we all get our unique trials and don't need to knock our own or be overly fearful of ones to come. Just enjoy the little ones you have! How old is your youngest anyway? Give him a kiss on the cheek for me! I am baby hungry too!

Sarah,

I have been catching up with your blog after not being able to read blogs much lately. I hope your thoughts were just passing thoughts. Of course, I understand baby hunger (took me 8 years and extreme science to have Bubbles) and miscarriage. Love on your kids, and remember that God gives us exactly what we can handle. Take good care of yourself.
