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.

i walked a lot of the last mile because of crampiness in the general baby delivering area...I had cramps a couple of times last week and need to watch for that.

Otherwise pretty decent run. I felt so great on part of it and was going 11 minute mile pace for awhile feeling good.

Sasha is leaving for Des News tonight. Boy...I remember the days when we had to get up at 2 or 3 in the morning to get him to the start of the race......I was very tired every pioneer day...not as tired as him I'm sure but it's a toss up...watching kids or running a marathon...which one is harder. After my one and only marathon I was very sure that it was WAY easier than any one dinnertime with my then three little children...no body was screaming for more food...I didn't feel like yelling at anyone. I just ran..talked to people drank water...and ran some more.

I was remembering this race this morning that I ran shortly after having somebody...Julia maybe. There were these fat girls smoking right before the race...annoying...and then to make things worse they had the gall to run..right after smoking!!!! They started out fairly fast and oooooo...I was NOT going to let them beat me....Maybe it was the sulky creature in black behind me this morning that reminded me of those smoking chics...I did beat them BTW ....I'm sure they lit up afterwards to drown their sorrows....

I vote that the running a Marathon is the easier of the two choices. Running ends. You know, you might try the "cat-cow" yoga pose(on all fours, arch your back upward, tuck your tummy the best you can, while pointing chin toward chest, then reverse it with a little arch of the back with chin upward). Do that as many times a day as you need to and use gravity to reduce pressure on the pelvic floor-- take it from me.... Also, what a horrible story about the smokers. Were they trying to make a point about the smoking before running? That is insane.

Thanks for the idea about the exercises...I think that will be especially helpful to me because I carry my babies really low. Good to hear from ya....have a good day.
