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.

Three times around the block..just like old times. 

I can tell my body is healing rapidly now. I was able to go a normal pace..more like in the 11-12 range...still not timing it but I could feel that I was moving....so nice to be moving again. It was like being cramped up in a small space for awhile there and I couldn't move like I wanted to..hmm....maybe that's the way William felt too. :)

I'm still not quite getting the sleep I need but that's gonna take awhile to get better. He's still a little guy and I've got to be there for him at night. Not quite ready for the cry it out method for a few months.

Your dedication to come back to running is wonderful! Any run better than no run. So many people -- who have NOT just given birth! -- will blow off their runs if they cannot get in the big miles. You are doing so well. Best wishes.

Good luck with the sleep :) I just started sleeping through the night a few years ago, after 16 years of no sleep :) Great run :)

Dang, I still do not get to sleep through the night. If it isn't a child, it is my snoring husband!

You are so AWESOME!!!!!

Snowy...is it still okay if I call you snowy? I may have to remind you who I live with. Sasha so helps me be dedicated. But I guess I could take some of the credit. :)

Poor Marion...16 years straight..really? As soon as my kids are about 1 or so they sleep pretty well..depends on the kid but usually by the time I'm pregnant with another baby I'm sleeping all night again.

Kelli- I just got back from a church party and all the ladies were talking about sleeping with noisy husbands. I usually make Sasha sleep downstairs when we first have a baby but he is usually pretty quiet.

Good to know I am not alone! My first child did not sleep through the night until she was 3. The next was a saint and slept through the night at 2 months--but at the age of 10 he NOW wakes up all of the time and comes and sleeps on our floor. No big deal aside from the fact that he is as loud as his dad!! #3 and #4 were just your average babies and were not too bad, and then there is the BABY now. She does sleep pretty well, but she also wakes up a lot and come in my room. I am so tired after 15 and a half years of this KID stuff, that I have given up and just let her crawl in bed with me. I never seem to sleep well with her in the bed!
