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.

Perfect weather today. Adrianne and I ran a nice 3 mile run today in lovely spring weather.

Her baby Will came along in the stroller.

I don't know if I wrote in here about my bad race a few weeks ago.

I'm still feeling a lack of confidence in my running after that.

We are training for a ten mile race but I'm race shy now...wonder if I'm getting old

after having 5 kids so fast.

I think that there were some extenuating circumstances last race, right? I would expect that you will not be running right after a trauma this next time, and that you will do very well. Maybe you could take some of the pressure off yourself by changing your goal for the race from one based on time, to one based on fun. Make this one the funnest race you've ever had--get those water fights going, wear a funky hat, or whatever works for you. Having just had 5 little ones does take a toll, but it doesn't mean that you can't still run. It means you should be kinder to yourself and adjust your expectations. Remember, it takes 2 years after having a baby for your body to get back to normal, including replenishing minerals and internal organs getting back to their previous state. (This is according to my nutrition class at BYU.) I think you are amazing for being able to run 10 miles period. Good luck!
