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.
Ran slow and easy..getting used to having to run slower. I'm going into have my thyroid levels checked to see if there's something amiss there and because I need to when I'm pregnant.
Sorry you're feeling so tired! Hope your trip was relaxing and fun. I started homeschooling while you were gone. And now, suddenly I am super tired too! What a coincidence :) I'm gonna have to learn how to do this without completely draining myself every day.
I still don't know how to balance homeschooling and everything else. I guess it's best to really focus on your child's (children..are you doing Joey some too?) learning style and really only do things that help them learn. Benjamin and Jenny are actually really easy. They learn TONS from reading...so I make sure they have good books and they read. Julia learns differently..I haven't quite figured her out yet. I really don't exhaust myself with homeschool anymore because I just can't. I do my very best and try to push my kids out of their comfort zone a little bit and then hope for the best. I think you need to just do what works for your family but still have some time to be relaxed and lazy too. :)
