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 woke up kind of feeling panicky about when I'll have to stop running with Amanda.. She can't handle a slower pace because it hurts her knee. In a few weeks I'll be too slow for her. I'm sure it will be hard the first couple of days and then I'll get back into a schedule of going by myself. It was good while it lasted...sigh....

That for me is probably the only hard thing about being pregnant this time. After having 5 children I feel I've been through some rough times and can weather some more. My older kids are very excited to help and my younger ones will be okay.....as they have brother and sisters and Dad to help them if Mommy is having a bad day.

We always find out what we are having. I like to get ready for the baby and call it by the name we've picked out and all that....so I'm counting down the weeks to the first visit and then to the ultrasound.

Feeling okay so far ....just a little lightheaded if I don't eat right away but not the strong urge to eat and the sickness if I don't that I'll get in a few weeks I'm sure. 

I really have fairly good pregnancies. I'm more tired and tire more easily but I function fairly well for most of the time..first few weeks are rough and last few weeks. Then after the baby is born I completely stop functioning and concentrate on nursing and trying to take care of myself.

Pace was still 10 minute a mile..no slow down yet.

We were speeding today...48:40. I felt fine. I'm a little tired now...which is bad since I need to get ready for the trip but I'm trying to chill a little now so I'll  have the energy to finish up the packing later.  Can't wait to see Lybi!!!

Did 2 around Lybi and James's lake in their beautiful Arizona neighborhood. I love the bushes of Rosemary growing around the duck lake. Having lots of fun.

I had the weirdest run today. I was fine when I woke up but as soon as I started running my nervous system gave up and I felt totally exhausted and couldn't run. I stopped to walk several times and finally gave up. I started cleaning out the car from our traveling the day before and started feeling better. I still only did 2 miles because it was getting late and time to come home and take care of my kiddos. Lybi is awesome...I know everyone is jealous that I get to hang out with her.

Had a solid run today. Ran about 10 minute mile pace around a duck pond....got to stare in people's backyards who bought the lake side homes and didn't have privacy fences...I just like looking at how people landscape in Arizona..also found it fun to see who had a citrus tree in their backyard. Lybi and the kids picked lemons from her friends tree and we made fresh lemonade for the bloggers...Benjamin got the credit for most of the work because he juiced most of the lemons...will help from Sam, Jenny and Julia. :)

Lybi and I fed a team of tired hungry runners. It was very gratifying to see them sit down to a meal after all the work they put forth....WONDERFUL JOB to everyone on the team!!!!
