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.

okay...I just have to say I feel awesome...I'm pregnant with number 6...had some super sick days this week where I made Sasha help me all day one of them(rare thing for me..usually I'm happy for him to blog all day while I slave alone. ;)   ....but despite it all I have run 5 miles every day. I am really grateful to Sasha for keeping me in shape and for suggesting the 5 mile a day plan for me. Even though I've had some sick days I feel my overall energy is better than it was with my last two pregnancies. With number 4 I needed to get on thryoid medicene and had a rough time of it at the start. With Jakey baby (number 5) I was more tired I think because I had only been running 2 a day when I got pregnant and slowing down a bit on low mileage just didn't give me that extra kick I'm getting from higher mileage now.  At the time Sasha and I both thought that 2 a day just made sense for a busy mom...but more miles really does give you more endurance and you are just in better overall shape.  

Have a great weekend y'all!!

Nice running Sarah. Your endurance is amazing. I was going to tell you in Arizona when I met you ,congratulations on the new child coming. Kids are fun, and they bring out the joy in us. Good luck with the pregnancy and your running.

Thanks Kory. I try. I told your wife on her blog the other day how much I enjoyed meeting you.

We do love our children and want them to have a big family. I grew up in a family of 6 and my parents adopted 2 after I was married. So there are 8 kids now.
