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 just lost steam right at the end. I sat down and ate some cantelope and then tried to start up again but my pregnant tummy/ligaments felt strained and so I called it a day.

Today I'm dreaming of what my little boy is going to look like. I feel like all my kids are really beautiful. I think I'm very lucky. I've been teasing Sasha that I can't have any more children with red hair(aka ones that look like him) because I've noticed that they are a little bit more stubborn and difficult. My brown headed babies have been more shy and obedient.

I have to say, the cantalope sounds alot more appealing to me than frosting on waffles :)

Just keep getting out there Sarah. I know it's getting hard but if you keep doing it, you'll be happy.

Do you wear any support around your tummy while running? I have a band I put around my large preggie tummy for three pregnancies while running and I think it really helped. I was too "frugal" to pay for an expensive pregnancy specific tummy belt, but I wore a tummy belt that is designed to make you sweat, I guess people wear them under their clothes to try to lose weight? Anyway, I got that for $10 back in 1999 at a sports store in a mall down in Tucson. Ok, I'll stop rambling. Have a great day!

I don't know about red haired kids: I have bright red hair (it was even brighter when I was a kid), and yet I always have been very shy, quiet and obedient. I think this phenomenon might be running just in your family :).

Michelle...I have a pregnancy belt my sister gave me. I'll try it this time and see how it goes. You're more than welcome to ramble anytime you want..I love it.
