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.
Alot of different emotions in the run today. I feel like everyday I'm able to finish my 5 miles I experience a miracle. I'm grateful I was able to finish them today.
It is a miracle. It's one thing to run and be fit in your prime, unencumbered with all the responsiblities of managing a home, nurturing children, and feeding a family. It's a whole other thing to do that, plus build a new baby, plus run. I think YOU are miraculous. Good job making that miracle happen.
Thank you..you guys are great cheerleaders and true friends.
I have to qualify the water park though..it wasn't Seven Peaks or anything big...it has a pool..two slides and a water playground with buckets dumping and guns shooting and stuff like that. That was PLENTY for me because I have this horrible anal personality trait that makes me have to watch my children every second at places like that.....keeps my kids safe and exhausts me..fun fun
Those types of places are the best, and you are doing what you need to watching your kids. It's scares me when people don't. Still don't know how you watch more than one of them though........eyes in the back of your head I guess :)
