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.

Had some decent quarters and some slower quarterrs. Running while pregnant is a mind game in a lot of ways....You have a perfect excuse to stop with every step but you also have the desire to stay in shape and be healthy...it's a hard balance somedays.

I've given Sasha orders to make sure I get out of bed on time. I really don't need to sleep in but not having a training partner waiting and of course having the excuse that I'm pregnant have made me lazy...it's messing up my schedule though and I need to be up early enough that maybe I can get on the trail before Sasha and his buddies start their runs.

Wow, you must have really REALLY wanted to never sleep in! Sasha will never go back on his word. I still remember when you guys were here and it was 9:55 and he kept chirping some Russian word, like an alarm clock or something. And when I asked you what he was saying, you said "bedtime." It's given me an idea. I think I am going to try setting my alarm for my bedtime. However, I have a love/hate relationship with my snooze button. Very on again, off again. We'll see how it goes.

Can you comment on my blog every day for the next nine months....I needed a laugh today. Thanks for being a good friend and just good old Lybi.

Yes..I reallly don't want to sleep in. I want to keep on my early schedule until I'm totally big and fat and not running as much. Especially since it takes me longer to run my five miles I really need the extra time.

Lybi- I set an alarm at my watch to go off at 9:30 pm every day. It is my "start getting ready for bed" alarm. Granted, I often still don't get in bed for an hour or two, but it gets the ball rolling.
