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.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
0.50	0.00	0.50

I've been running half a mile every day all week and it feels great to be outside again and doing something sorta normal like running...sorta. I have tried going a little bit faster than 20 min mile pace. I think I even got up to 14 min pace for a few hundred meters today. Having a baby really takes a lot out of you...half mile is plenty of course for now. I'm excited to be able to crank up the miles and the speed...in due time...and will enjoy the fact that my run only takes a few minutes out of my day right now. ...especially since half of my time I'm still on my beloved couch nursing my adorable baby...he really is perfect. I can brag here right? All my kids have been pretty cute but I think they really keep comin cuter and cuter...

Good to hear you able to get out. I think it is the best therapy. Happy recovery!!

How sweet. It does take a lot out of you to have a baby. The whole time you are pregnant, things are changing, but at least it is gradual. Then BOOM! The baby is out and you are left to put the pieces back together. The good part is that every day, every week you get your normal body back a little at a time. So it is all good news from here on out. Rest easy! I hope you are sleeping!

Glad you are enjoying your running. I remember (way back when) those tiring days (and nights) with a newborn.

I think it is great that you are able to get in a little running. AND even better that you are getting to hang out at home with the cutest baby on the planet right now! Enjoy him, they grow up so fast. I miss babies, I may just have to come steal yours for a minute!

There are literally a million babies in my ward right now. It would be a good ward to visit if you are baby hungry. But of course my baby is the most adorable(he better be since I have to stare at his adorable face all day and night.)
