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.

I can't believe my luck today. Luc (LuzyLew) met up with Sasha on the trail and can to my house to meet me. She was also nice enough to run with me the rest of my run. I ran 1.7 by myself around the block and then another 2.3 with her and 1 mile back home by myself. We were talking a little bit about mental running...something Sasha had said to her. I think there really is a science of running psychology that would be interesting to study. Running with her today I ran way faster for longer than I usually do by myself....and I went on my least favorite set of hills on the trail 4 times without even noticing. My legs didn't hurt and everything felt wonderful. Hmmmmmm....

Thanks for a great run Luc (sp? sorry..)

Sarah, great job on your consistency...you're an animal. I hope your pregnancy continues to go well.

I'm feeling big and slow for sure, but my biggest complaint would have to be my sleeping habits. And unfortunately, there have been some days where I could have gotten out for a run but my husband's been out of town. He takes off again next week for five days. But I'm doing just find, thanks for asking!

And I didn't even notice losing my dog! It was so great to meet and run with you. You look great and are still running strong! It does put the rest of us to shame. Maybe we'll get to do a prettier part of the trail together one of these times...and then we'll eat Ice Cream together....Sasha won't mind that will he? I'd be really playing up that pregnancy card if I were you. --Luz
