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
5.00	0.00	5.00

One more week and it's officially a habit...or is that 21 days and it's a habit..well..I think 6 days a week of 5 miles a day counts. I am handling it well except that I can't run quite as fast as I want. I'm trying to just listen to my body. Sometimes I think I'm doing pretty well and then when I'm tired I slow down and take it easy...I just wish I didn't have to slow down but I can't wear myself out on my runs. I have no time for naps when I get home and need to be a little energizer bunny to make it cheerfully through my day.

Were you suprised when you got the package? I had a lot of fun going through the cloth. I sent you all of my left-overs. I thought you could use them more than me. So, is it okay if I make your next baby something else besides a texture blanket?

I'll explain crumpyb1 another day. Congratulations on a wonderful 5 mile per day week! By the way, today I am feeling even better.

Way to go Sarah - good dedication for getting those miles in consistently, a tough thing to do being a full time Mommy Im sure

Nice work!.. and the speed will continue to come (you sound fast to me already!) I know what you mean about needing to be cheerful for the kids- its a fine line- grumpy if I don't run- grumpy if I overdo it and tire myself out!

Sarah, great point, once running is back to a habit and part of your daily life, your back. congrads. By the way, 1 mile is a long way, let alone 5 miles a day. We often read of the mega miles on the blog, not least us forget our own daily mile by mile challenges.
