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.

Well..I did it..first time for 2 miles. I could have of course done it the day after I had the baby except that I'm no dummy and give my uterus plenty of time to heal. It felt sooo good. My legs were not sore. That is one part about running pregnant that I won't miss....no more feeling like my legs are going to fall apart every time I step on them. I think I maintained a good pace again today. Hard to say because I didn't take the Garmin but I know the feel of 20 minute pace versus 12 and it was on the 12 end again. I'm so grateful to be able to move again. I did feel a  bit tired but pushed through it. I'm sleepy now and may take a catnap before facing the rest of the day.

(for instance..i'm rocking William in the bouncy seat as I type and his brother accidently dropped a book on his face...luckily it was a paperback...sigh....)

Great job on getting back to running.

Just tell yourself that being the youngest for a while will toughen William up.

Right...he will be tough...I just hope he survives to enjoy it.

BIG milestone! Great job.

Did you see that family that is expecting baby number 18?? That is amazing, seriously. And they seem so sane and the kids so well behaved! I wonder if she runs through her pregnancies?

I'm so happy for you! Two fast miles. We'll be at it again soon for sure....I'm so glad to see how well you're doing. I've been lazy to write and check the blog-- especially since my running has been less than performance running--less to write about when I'm cross training on the stationary bike at least half the time these days. Anyway, I'd love to drop by and see you and William soon.

Great job, Sarah! I'm so happy that you are feeling well enough to run so well. Sweet little William! If only that could be the hardest thing he'd ever have to endure...once I dropped a full sippy cup on baby Sam's face...I was singing to him and trying to get him to fall back asleep, unfortunately I was the one affected by the lullaby and I lost my grip. Poor child!

Yeah! great job Sarah! You rock!

I take it William's brother wanted to show him a great book and just got too excited? :o)
