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 guess I should only put 4.5 because I had to walk the last .5. I was getting contractions like crazy.

Does anyone want to borrow my adorable 3 year old for a few months until he reaches the age of reasonableness?

I made eggs this morning but offered him the old standby oats if he didnt' want them. He wanted oatmeal. Once I gave into his request for oatmeal (even when it was already late and we were all hungry) and then as soon as it was time to eat he said he didn't want oatmeal he wanted oats. He so needs to be the dictator of a small country...does anyone have a small country available without strong leadership... He is also very cute and easily distracted by the joy of finding bugs outside so maybe we'll survive.

My picnic blanket is almost done..I just need to tie it..gotta borrow a quilting frame again for that and I keep putting off asking my friend...better do it soon before all the good picnic days are gone.

Your little guy has found his own small country in the boundaries of his very own home! Just let him rule and all will be well in the long run! (Until the next little dictator reaches the age of dictatorship!)

Careful with the contraction running! Too soon for anymore dictators to join the family! He needs some more baking time before he's ready!

Maybe your dictator's were nicer than mine have been...actually Joseph is the first. When he was inside me I could tell he had a strong personality...I told Sasha that it was his child and he could be in charge of this one. Unfortunately Joseph is also in the stage of "only mommy"...mommy has to do everything and he is slowly warming up to daddy...maybe it's because they are so much alike.

I've gotten contractions with each pregnancy when I exercise..if I stop as soon as they come they don't continue..but I will be careful. Preterm labor is definitely not in the plan..

i feel so bad ..this always happens....my little dictator has a fever...no wonder he was in such a bad mood this morning. I thought he was just tired and was waiting for naptime. Then I felt like I should wake him up early and take him on a date....he didn't need just personal time...he needed medical attention...poor little guy...thank goodness for that little voice inside that guides us.

So funny the way that happens.(And I hate the guilty feeling I get from doing that exact same thing!) I'm glad you figured it so he can start feeling better. You are amazing with all that you do, keep it up.
