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 will be full term...37 weeks on Friday and I am still going pretty strong..wow..I'm grateful to Sasha for not giving up on even a pregnant lady..not to mention pregnant with our seventh. I get a kick out of meeting new people and having them ask me if it is my first. Last week someone told me I looked 21 and she was in complete shock it was my seventh.  good run today too...no bladder issues. I am happy for the good days and preparing for the tired ones ahead. :)

a tiny bit tired today but not too bad. We picked up Sasha's mom last night and are happy to have grandma here visiting.  I'm getting nervous for another baby..hoping things go well. :)

Ran with GeriAnn...had to take a couple of breathers for bladder pressure but everything else was good.  Sasha's mom is here and she is a fun addition to the family. The kids love her and she tries to be as helpful as is physically possible. She is also smart and witty. :)

Had to walk a bit today to relieve the old bladder pressure thing. Sasha came running along during one of my walking breaks and I couldn't resist the urge to start running again and show off for him. It paid off because I heard him saying to his running partner as they passed that I sure looked good for a pregnant lady...gotta keep that flame alive. :)

WEll I am officially full term ..which means I can have the baby at home and won't have to go to the hospital. I had a funny run today. At my turn around there was this string of women running really really slow...about as slow as I have gone at the end of all my previous pregnancies. I've still be able to truly run at the end of this one because of Sasha's encouragement. So when I turned around and ran flying past those ladies it reminded me to be grateful that my pregnant legs still work.  Then this guy came flying past me..no big deal...of course people running a really normal pace are going faster than me.  But then as I came up the hill I see the guy..who has slowed down alot and I think, " I could pass him too" I don't know why but there was something about his punky white headband that made me feel like he was a guy with an attitude that would never forgive himself if a 9 month pregnant lady passed him.  I started closing the gap and got pretty close but decided that I was being silly and didn't need to push myself just to embarrass Mr. Cool..of course he's probably a really nice guy but I guess I was just feeling evil this morning. :)
