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.

Oh..the pain...I had the exploding leg syndrome today and I've sworn to not run through it during this pregnancy if I can help it. So...I cut back a little. When I'm good about taking my vitamins I don't have any leg pain..when I'm not..oooooooooo it really really hurts. 

I need to vent about the near accident I had. I'm wondering if there is someone in the construction hiearchy I can talk to.  I almost got into a bad accident on Saturday when my lane ended with very very little warning. I was in the carpool lane when I saw a sign to merge into the next lane. They had those big barrels up for a little while to close our lane. The thing is they didn't give us very much notice..maybe 1/2 mile to a mile..seems like you usually get more notice and a couple of signs. And the real problem with giving the carpool lane little notice is that you are merging into the fastest lane with all the guys who must have a death wish....So I had like 30 seconds to get over and the cars in the third lane WOULD NOT LET me over. I had to honk like crazy, get over or crash into those giant barrels at 70 miles an hour. It was terrifying.  I'm actually scared to drive in the carpool lane now for fear of that happening again. And I wonder if it is going to happen alot with the upcoming construction on 1-15

What a scary experience. Utah driving is faster and a bit scarier then other states. I hope your leg gets feeling better soon.
