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 great today...except that I kept having Braxton Hicks and had to stop every quarter or so...besides that my legs and CV system felt like they could conquer the world. 

And I might have a training partner soon...which would be great....I always love having someone to chat with. She is in my ward and is actually my visiting teacher. She ran until 7 months pregnant...so we already have a lot in common...we are both crazy enough to run pregnant. Her baby is 8 weeks old and she is of course struggling to get back in shape. We'll be perfect for each other.

No braxton hicks today. Felt a little out of breath at the end. Good run today. 

I'm kind of excited because I can tell I've stayed in way better shape than any pregnancy...the blog has helpled motivate me through this one and track to make sure I'm not missing too many days...Thank you honey for setting up the blog. I'm about to hit 30 weeks this Friday and that's usually when I'm done running...but I don't feel like I'm anywhere near done...maybe by 36 weeks I'll be closer to being "done"..meaning that my runs or so slow I'm barely moving...we'll see. I'm excited.

Great run today. I didn't have tired legs....oh that is such a good feeling. it's funny but I didn't even feel pregnant today. I know that means I'm going to have a growth spurt...or William is at least and then I will be huge. I usually get pretty big.

Yay! I got to run with Luz today. I missed that woman like crazy..she'd addicting!! We had a great fast run for me ...almost 11 minute mile pace. It just feels so good to run like that and I really can't do it by myself most days unless I'm feeling extra super. Having someone to talk to distracts me so beautifully that I forget (mostly) that I'm pregnant. And today is especially fun to have a good run because I turned 30 weeks today!!! Only 10 more weeks and I'm getting major nesting energy..I want everything to be ready and perfect for the baby. I'm so excited to meet him.

I was so excited because I thought I'd get 4 miles every day this week. But...Jacob woke up and he can climb out of his bed now so I had to stop at 2. We have a busy day going to the Leblow's house in the morning and Salt Lake in the afternoon but I may try to be brave and squeeze some in tonight. I'm sure most of you saw the amazing finish for Michael Phelps 7th gold. It was so incredible I still have goose bumps. I truly believe that my Sasha has as much determination, desire to be the best, dedication, love of  sport and all that good stuff...but for some reason ...I think Sasha calls it the mysterious quality X some guys have it and some guys don't. Wow..is all I can say.
