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.
Just checking in to say Hi and see how you're getting along. I read how tired your legs felt. I'm sure just being active, walking, and moving around frequently is healthy enough. Keep up with whatever feels good to your body. Maybe pounding from running is harder on legs when you're growing a baby in the middle of your hips. Mine felt like jello. I had a hard time running pregnant and didn't do it after 4 months. The sensation was creepy and my hips always felt funny. I'm sure you get lots of advice and stuff, but be sure to get enough calcium (sesame seeds, milk, greens...ICE CREAM... you know, "calcium".) along with the magnesium. I've heard that when you're pregnant your calcium levels drop (bones become softer in prepraration for birthng, etc). Lots of women get loose teeth and stress fractures due to the loss of bone density. Make a good baby and be good to yourself. Keep up the soymilkicecream/chipsandsalsa/basmati rice blogging. I love it!
