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.
We are going to St George today..maybe just thinking about it is making me more tired than I was yesterday. Since I don't have to drive...Sasha is awesome at driving long distances without tiring. I can sleep in the car.
Ohh, I love napping in the car! The only issue is the open mouth and drool, but my husband is kind and only teases me occasionally about it. So how far along are you now?
We went to St.George to stay at Steve's house before going on to Zion's the next day. We wanted to show Sasha's mom a little of the beauty of the west. She was impressed and enjoyed it a great deal. I did too..it was a fun easy stress free trip.
Michelle-I'm about 14 weeks..so in that good stage...except that I've been having weird fatigue problems I didn't even have at the beginning. Sasha told me to meditate...when I find some free time I'll think about it...maybe and open mouth and drooling counts. :)
Good to hear you guys had a good time. I love it in Zions, although I have only been there once and not really been able to see the full beauty of it. I hope to see it someday.
