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'm too lazy to go upstairs and get the Garmin but our time was about 50:42. .

I went to the Doctor. I was hoping that Iwas pregnant and that my hypothyroidism had magically disappeared. Negative on both counts. Thryoid problems are very easy to treat but I told my running partner today that if I was going to write a book on the subject I would call it, "Hypothryoidism" and then smaller "The disease that doesn't kill you but makes you wish you were dead" You feel very very  tired when it is low....which is probably what has been happening to me(but only when Fred visits) since my medicine ran out and I decided to wait until I got pregnant to make another appointment(because we have to pay for our visits out of pocket..we have a huge deductible...I didn't want to go in one month and pay 100  bucks and then have to get retested 1 month later because I was pregnant and that changes things and thus changes my dosage) 

Anyway, I am terribly sad but also very happy that at least I have a disease that is very easy to treat and fairly common and well researched. 

The only explanation I can fathom for me being so baby hungry  is that my children are so completely adorable that I just don' t ever want to stop having such cute kids...or maybe it's because I'm going to have twins next time and this is God's way of preparing me to really really want the extra work that comes with that...I don't know.....don't mind my rambling...have a good day everyone.

Wow, hypothyroidism is definitely one of those bugger "conditions." One you just have to grin and bear it. Its not too severe is it? That is great that is doesnt effect your pregnancies too terribly bad.

You make me laugh. I agree, adorable kids make it really hard to stop having more. Maybe you can babysit someone's teenager for a while or something...

I'm actually glad to know what disease I have...I think some people suffer and never get checked out. Mine isn't too severe but it definitely can affect things. I was severly depressed until it was diagnosed...

Sarah, you have a great attitude. It certainly doesn't seem to slow you down; how commendable.

I've been anticipating "baby symptoms" as well...with no luck. Hopefully anytime now. Be sure to keep me updated. You are absolutely right, they are worth every bit of effort. Hopefully my effort is enough. I am in love with my little family.

Good luck with everything!
