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 have officially decided to run 4 miles a day as my maximum run...I know my mileage is slowly going to go down from there. I kind of mourned it and felt a little sad I wouldn't see the part of the trail I do if I go 2.5 out. 

Today was a rough run even with only 4. I felt so good starting out but then had to walk on and off after 2.6 or so because of major braxton hicks.

Now I feel worn out and will try to lay down for a little.

On the bright side it was fun to be on the trail today and I saw a million EFY kids or something...also some "famous" BYU track stars. Although I'm a teeny bit tiffed at some of the wanna be track stars that were running with the track stars....they almost ran me off the trail...really. They were all huddled together (10 of them or so) taking up the ENTIRE trail and could not break up the pack to pass a sweet little pregnant lady. I guess I'll forgive them because I should and because I have to say...you can't tell I'm 6 months pregnant from behind...or even overweight...all of my baby weight is front and center..perfect little basketball.

Sasha just gave me the runner's spin on this phenomenon .....he says brushing shoulders with a wanna be track star is normal track protocol...I guess I'll just hope that someday it makes me faster.
