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.
You are (i think) more naturally talented as an athlete and will be surprised when you start burning rubber and beating all of these fast running chicks. Actually running with Christine makes you run faster than me alot of days. I am lazy when I run when my partner..that's why I'm doing strides to help the overall pace and get me more use to a faster time...I think they are way fun...even when my partner(who is also more naturally talented than me) leaves me in the dust on every single stride!!
I beg to differ. Remember (how could you forget) when Sasha took you for your very first run at 8:30 pace or someting like that and you made it 3 miles with no previous training?
Well maybe we both have hidden running talent...but I think you should definitely give yourself some credit for the work you did in High School and be grateful for the base and knowledge you gained.
My running partner has this fabulous ability to kick her legs up behind her when she does strides that I'm hoping I can learn how to do....that's all I mean...maybe you learned cool stuff in high school that gives you a bit of an edge you will soon see come out as you train.
