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.

Didn't mind running by myself quite as much. I'm also getting used to the slower times and not quite so mad about it....It's always a little bit hard to let go but I've learned pushing myself during a pregnancy is not an option. Nice and easy works a lot better. I'm looking forward to this week and hope everyone else enjoys their time this week too.

Had some decent quarters and some slower quarterrs. Running while pregnant is a mind game in a lot of ways....You have a perfect excuse to stop with every step but you also have the desire to stay in shape and be healthy...it's a hard balance somedays. 

I've given Sasha orders to make sure I get out of bed on time. I really don't need to sleep in but not having a training partner waiting and of course having the excuse that I'm pregnant have made me lazy...it's messing up my schedule though and I need to be up early enough that maybe I can get on the trail before Sasha and his buddies start their runs.

I've decided I'm having twins. I can't remember being so hungry with any of my kids. I need to eat like 5 times the normal amount of food so I'm not starving every 1 1/2 hours.....which is about to expire and I'm going to eat my fourth bowl of breakfast. That's after a morning snack of a peanut butter sandwich. I am so tired of eating........

I ran slooooow today because I was starving.....help.

Some skinny people are lazier than heavy people...Not a politically correct statement but this is still a free country. I'm actually just speaking about myself so I guess I shouldn't have made a blaknet statement. I think the first part of my pregnancy is hard on me because I'm naturally lazy about eating. I look at it as more work so I do the bare minimum required (unless it's Oreo Cheescake..that is my one failing). Then when I'm pregnant I have to eat 3-5 times as much and the sheer work of it kills me. It's worse than running to me....mostly because I have to think about every bite I put in my mouth, worry if it's healthy, and then decide if I'm going to like it once it's there.....vent vent vent.

I woke up late but feel MUCH better today than I did yesterday. I'm going to finish with 2.5 miles this afternoon with the girls.

Sasha fed the kids breakfast and I got three more in...I feel so good today I can't believe I'm in the same body I was in yesterday.

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!!
