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 put the belt on after the first lap today...I'm probably going to be scared to try running without it now. It isn't uncomfortable at all so it's really not so bad. My ligaments started hurting on the last lap and I'd been struggling with fatigue on and off during the run (which believe it or not is actually not usually an issue..I usually mostly have the energy but some weird pregnancy thing gets in my way)...so I called it a day and came in to blog.

Thanks...that's one way i survive running (and then doing the rest of the things I do) during my pregnancy. I've gotten better at listening to my body with this pregnancy and felt better overall.

I just checked out your blog..you have six kids too...(I figure this baby counts since I'm almost through my pregnancy) I grew up with 6 kids in the family. 3 girls and 3 boys. We are going to be heavy on boys..this will be number 4!! And all adorable little buggers they are.

I do have six cutie pies, 16, 14, 11, 7,4,& 2. Three girls and three little boys. My girls are all the oldest and the boys are the babies. Running has really helped me not go too crazy with these 3 little rascals :D

Oh, and the baby on the way ALWAYS counts :) They are SO much apart of the family. Congratulations!
