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.

AAARRGGHH...I have a crazy body. I haven't been able to sleep enough the last two nights...strange for me. Usually if I miss sleep one night I'm super dead asleep the next night. I felt terrible yesterday and then couldn't sleep very well last night either...My cure? Go for a faster run and get that energy out. I have noticed with my body a fine balance between exhaustion and ability to sleep at night. If I am not tired enough I wake up at 5 in the morning...or worse 4. That's usually my signal that I have slacked on the running when I shouldn't have. Maybe I still need 5 miles sometimes...I don't know. The problem is that I'll get braxton hicks and get worn out sometimes and overdo...it's a hard balance running pregnant but the health benefits are definitely worth it.

With all the uncomfortable sleeping and braxton hicks, I've come to the conclusion that you might be pregnant. October, October, you can make it till October. Maybe really fast walking can get you tired enough to sleep without setting off the contractions? I can't remember. It's been a long time. But I'm pretty sure passing your 3rd trimester in late summer is going to be tough to sleep comfortably. Be well and take care of yourself Sarah.

Oh Luz..you make me laugh. I went 11:30 pace the entire time today (just like when I'm with you and it felt good) ...no slow warm-up today...so maybe I will still be able to do something when you come back :)

Thank you for your friendliness...I need it and appreciate it.

I had to say good-bye to Amanda again today. I had a bar stool of hers that I returned. Sad to say good-bye...again.
