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.

felt good today..the weather was terrible and I wore the wrong jacket so I was miserable..but at least my legs felt good and I felt strong...nice when you are about to enter your third trimester and seventh pregnancy no less. I met a lady last week on her fourth baby but 15th pregnancy. She just keeps losing them at 12 weeks. She was 5 months pregnant with this one and seemed hopeful that she would be able to keep it. I have always been  blessed by the Lord in the childbearing dept. And my children are all beautiful and smart. I need to remember that when I have those tired times and thank my father in heaven for the blessings he has chosen to give me and do by best by them.

pretty good run..no leg problems...no contractions..no cramps..yay!

I need to tell the story of the little lost bird..I don't know if his parents had just pushed him out of the nest or if he fell out.. but he was crawling on the underbrush right next to the river. His parents seemed to be frantically calling to him and in a few moments I couldn't even see him anymore. I looked for him for a few minutes to see if I could push him back in the right direction but he was gone..I ran off wondering if he had fallen in the nearby river. Do birds grieve you think?

not sure on this..Sasha may laugh to remember why I used to cut my runs short. I would see a dog and then turn around and run home. He would always laugh at me for coming back early. Today I cut it short because I saw a drunk guy up ahead and just didn't have the guts to run past him. Or I guess he could have been on something. At any rate, he was walking funny and looked a little out of it. I don't like being alone near men who aren't in control of themselves..

that's a sorta 4..I had to walk alot today...I really don't know what's up with my body( BESIDES the fact that I'm 28 weeks prego) Yesterday I cut my run too short..and I felt it. I was so energetic. But it's not like I went crazy and cleaned the entire house or mowed the lawn or made some crazy amount of waffles. I went grocery shopping, talked on the phone, watched William play, did some sewing...pretty relaxing and lazy day actually. Then whamo I wake up this morning feeling dead and it took 2 miles for my body to wake up and get going. I was literally dragging through the first 2 miles..not like when Sasha or some other elite says that they were dragging at a 8:30 pace!!!! Luckily I did wake up and was able to actually sorta run home. Now I just want to curl up in a ball but today is our busy day..choir and art lessons at our house, running club in the afternoon.  Wish me rest in between the craziness!!!
