| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| I'm just guessing on this. I walked today because I was still trying to nurse my sore muscles from the fall I had on Friday. I think I'll give running a try tomorrrow. I'm entertaining two families today...busy busy....One is a highschool and college friend...that I haven't seen for about 12 years....wow..can't believe it's been that long. He is married with 4 kids and I've never met his wife so I'm excited to meet him. I think he and Sasha will get along beautifully and I'm excited to talk to his wife. They homeschool,eat healthy and she's had homebirths so we'll have some things to jabber about while our children play. | | Comments(4) |

| Tight calves today but otherwise a good run. I feel like my cardiovascular system is still in fairly good condition...it's my changing body that holds me back.....overall felt pretty good and I'm grateful that my fall wasn't worse or kept me down longer. Don't try this at home: Yesterday I was feeling the beginnings of mastitis(a yucky infection that I didn't know pregnant women could get). I have had success treating this at home before with garlic. So I was very diligently popping in whole cloves of garlic and eating them straight. The last clove I ate I guess I did on an empty stomach...baaaaad idea. I was in my room when my body rebelled and I nearly lost my cookies (or I guess my garlic). It was nooo fun. I was too weak to make it to the kitchen and get something in my stomach but luckily I had a few pieces of molasses licorice in my bedroom...it worked..I didn't throw up and my mastitis symptoms are totally gone this morning. Moral of this story...never never never never eat garlic on an completely empty stomach.

| My calves were still tight today but not as bad. I ran slower the first mile. This guy on the trail made my day. I often wonder how people can look at me with my big pregnant belly and not doubletake. He grinned at me this morning and said, "You are a hard worker." When I get good honest compliments like that I can live off of them for a few days at least. I need to introduce him to the blog...I think he's the type to love the fun community we have. I see him everyday and he seems really nice. Of course I am wisely hesitant in talking to strange men.

| Did 1.3 around the block by myself before I dragged all the babies out of bed and took them to the Provo River Half Marathon today. It was so fun to see some bloggers. Especially fun to see all the guys from the team today come in the top 6 places. Congrats to all of them. Especially to Walter who said that the 7th guy was on his tail and he gave it his all to make sure he beat him so the top 6 places were our ST. George Running Center/ Fast Running Blog team...Yay!!!!!! I did two more miles on the trail near the race with Kim Lee. She is so pretty it's always fun to see her smiling face...thanks Kim!!! | | Comments(3) |
