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.

A day off and some hanging upside down on our inversion table seems to have done the trick....no pain to speak of today....a few twinges here and there and I just stopped to walk a couple of times to baby it. I don't know if I'll have time to run anymore today. I may get on our stationary bike some....the kids liked it when I was sitting there pedaling the bike on the back porch. I think they like it when I'm outside with them. 

I think my thyroid has started to work better because I'm sleepy in the middle of the night again. yay for modern medicine. My friend keeps telling me that her sister-in-law cured her hypothyroidism on a raw diet after a few weeks. Hmm....I'm still thinking about that one.

I am glad you are feeling better today.

Thyroid issues are difficult, I have struggled with them for a while.. I've never heard of a raw diet curing hypothyroidism... interesting.

I am glad you are feeling better today Sarah. I am skeptical about raw diets "curing" hypothyroidism (but I am a scientist so am naturally skeptical) -however, thyroxine/T3, etc. are hormones so diet potentially influences them to some degree.

I had a friend that had similar hip problems that you are describing - after a number of specialists (doctors, chiropractors, etc.) - another friend of ours watched her pick her 2 year old and put him on her hip ... hmmmmm ... how many children do you still end up carrying around Sarah? I think you need to get Billy boy out running pretty soon ;-) he he.

thanks Josse

Thyroid is difficult if it's out but not really too hard..at least it is manageable once you know what's going on.

I am also skeptical about raw diets and constantly present that voice of skepticism to my "raw" friends. (that's how they define themselves once they've gone raw. I think that there are a lot of yummy things you can eat that don't need to be cooked but I think you need a balance of cooked things and raw things.

On the other hand, I have also met someone who went on a raw diet and his cancer went into submission. I've read a lot about it but it curing people but actually meeting someone is pretty powerful. Still thinking about it though. :)
