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 think I should start putting all my miles as fast...I certainly am running for two. 

I do enjoy a slow pace though. I've asked some of the girls that run fast why they push themselves. I think it was Josse who said, " I just like to go fast."

I actually don't. I like going slow and enjoy getting a workout without killing myself off.

Sometimes I like running without killing myself. And sometimes I like to push it just to see how fast I can go. So, I guess I can see both sides.

I hope you are enjoying your conference weekend.

Sarah, great job being consistant! The past few weeks have been rough for me. Thanks for your encouraging remarks now and then. Hope you're feeling well.

I'm sorry they've been rough. Promise me to take it easy. I've been through the 3 kid thing....4...5...and now looking at what 6 is going to be like. The talk on young motherhood from Elder Ballard was one of the most amazing talks of all time...I'm biased..but take it easy, get help, slow down a bit if you need to and call friends for therapy complaining sessions. :)

I assure you, I have been taking it easy. Perhaps that is half of my problem. I have needed a break from running. However, I have missed the stress release that running provides. Ugh.

Elder Ballard's talk was a good one, huh? I love conference. It jumps starts my heart and helps me re-devote myself.

I haven't been on the blog enough to keep up with how your pregnancy is going...how have you been feeling?

Yes..conference is wonderful...always sad when it is over.

I have been having a great pregnancy. The early morning sickness yuckiness is over. The only trouble I have now is a horrible cough but I know that will be done soon. We heard a heartbeat at the last appointment and I'm feeling happy.

You might find it good to still run every day...when you can but would it drive you crazy to run slower? Sasha always tells me to still run but to slow down if I'm having a bad day.

I run at about a 10:40 pace pregnant at the begninning and then shuffle at the end...I still get some endorphins from it and call it good.
