| 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 am CRAZY for running a race this pregnant(I'm 33 weeks on Friday) but it really was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it. I started out at what felt like a brisk but manageable pace..probably 10:45 or so. My shins started getting really really really tight so wisdom told me to stop and stretch. It was worse than normal. Luckily they loosened up beautifully after a mile and a half or so. My first mile was 10:58. I guess I slowed down a bit because my overall pace was 11:08 but let's remember how very pregnant I am. I can't believe I can still keep up an 11 minute mile. I've never been able to before. The blog has worked it's magic on me too...It is a fun accomplishment and I'm saving the card from this race to put in little Will's scrapbook!! The best part was that the entire family was on the race course today. Marion...bless her heart...ran with my spunky 5 year old who is too fast for Mommy. Sasha ran with Jenny and pushed Jacob and Joseph in the stroller. Benjamin ran by himself and then William and I finished from behind. I am so grateful that I didn't have any ligament pains or contractions. It was probably as perfect of a race for a big ol' lady like me...Sasha has some hilarious things to say about women running pregnant..you should check out his blog for today. | | Comments(14) |

| Shuffled along today at a slow pace but felt pretty good. The pace I ran the race at yesterday was about the same as what I've been doing on runs with Luz so in a way she gave me my "tempo runs" that trained me for race day!! Thanks Luz!! | | Comments(2) |

| Sasha worked at the temple today so timewise I could only get in three. My kids were angels on Sunday and I was scared something bad would happen this week. This may seem silly but the "bad" thing that has happened is that Jenny has lost her stuffed bunny. The bunny has it's arms sewn together and so she can carry it on her arm. She "wears" the bunny everywhere and we have a rule that she has to keep it in the car when she goes somewhere. I guess she forgot yesterday because we think it got lost at a park and someone or something took off with it...moved it..etc. We've already been to the park twice in the last twelve hours looking for it and will probably go again tonight. I am devasted for her...she is about to be baptized so I'm trying to make this into an object lesson about having a different type of comforter with you all the time. One that you can never lose if you are worthy. I am very very sad for her and hope against hope that we can find it today. | | Comments(5) |

| I must still be tired from the race....or 33 weeks pregnant. I couldn't get my legs going. Good run all considering but I have to decide how to play the game the rest of my pregnancy. | | Comments(4) |

| Well..I ran with Luz today and I have to admit that I think I overdid it a teeny bit...just a teeny. I'm just a little bit tired. Off to my day...have a good one everyone. | | Comments(1) |
