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.

crazy run today..I tried Sasha's well..I guess the original credit goes to Lybi..are you out there sweetie?..anyway..I ran BAREFOOT. I love walking around barefoot but the trail wasn't as sweet to walk on as my carpet and tile. It was fun watching for reactions of people. Women in groups and men did not pay attention..women alone gave me weird looks.

How did it feel? Did you do lots of 'ouch, oooh, owie' as you ran?

Wow! Way to go! Hope you were able to avoid any glass or thorns. In a perfect world, I think we would all go barefoot and not have any worries about cutting our feet or getting something stuck to/inside of them...that reminds me, I still need to clean off the gum I stepped on coming home from church 2 Sundays ago!

It did hurt a little bit..I don't know if I could do it everyday like Sasha is trying to do..we'll see what tomorrow brings. The trail is pretty clean and I was watching for glass of course. When I put my shoes back on they felt sooo heavy!!

You ran barefoot?!? Yippee! I almost never check the blog these days, but the one day I do, I get a shout-out. Very sweet.

Holy SMOKES woman! When I first tried running barefoot, I only ran 1 mile or less. Wet feet are the enemy! If your feet are all soft from being in shoes right before you run, or if you step in a puddle, you will likely end up with blisters. What I am curious about is how your back felt. I know you need your orthotics to run in shoes without back pain. I think that barefoot running is easier on the back, though, because you intuitively seek a lighter strike. That's what makes it so much better for the joints.

Meanwhile, I am about 13 months pregnant and people laugh at the mere sight of me. I dream about running sometimes. If this baby does not come within 3 weeks I'm going to start up again regardless! Only I'm sure that cars will stop and offer me rides to the hospital...that happened last time I was pregnant and out for a walk.

P.S. and next time I am in Utah we must go for a barefoot run together. Then we can look funny at the shod ladies and make them think they have stumbled into the Twilight zone.

My dream came true!! I knew you'd read the blog today...just knew it..glad you got to see your tribute. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one.
