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 may try to get another mile in when Sasha comes home but for now everyone is awake and I am feeling 9 months pregnant and really unmotivated. The baby's head is down and when he was sideways that was pretty uncomfortable but that little head on your bladder running opens up a whole new world of discomfort.

I felt better than yesterday today...I need to remember this is day to day and not think I'm done just because I have one bad day. 

I have told Sasha I am not running in labor this time...he always thinks it's so funny to talk me into it...and he is terribly good at talking me into things...I married him didn't I?

I may have actually run closer to 3 but I'm not sure so I'll be conservative. I had a TERRIBLE start today with pretty bad ligament pains. The crazy thing about these ligament pains is that I've really only had them fairly strongly with my first pregnancy and I was the smallest with that one. I've been super huge with my other four...but again this time I'm a little bit smaller-I only measured 30 centimeters at my 33 week appointment. (not a concern if I keep growing...meaning the baby is growing..) So weird...when I'm smaller it hurts more????

I was going to stop at 1.5 and just call it at day...I could barely walk. Then I saw a friend pushing her 3 year old and 5 week old in a stroller. (she ran until like 37 weeks) I perked up and the ligament pains had stopped so I decided to go her way for a bit. I'm so glad I ran into her or I wouldn't have finished very gracefully today. It was fun to talk to her and we talked a little about other women we know that run pregnant or after they've had a baby.

The last few days have been rough...I think my body is ready to have a baby and wants me to conserve some energy. I still kind of fight against it because I know to have energy you have to put some out. But...Sasha and I both decided last night for me to cut down to 2 and just go easy until the baby comes. I'm sad but I feel it's for the best.

feeling kind of depressed that my legs have been so sore the last few days and I've had to cut down on my mileage...I'm in for a fun weekend though. Camping tonight, Jenny's baptism tomorrow with most of my family coming.  Then on Sunday I get to play my flute for a choir number...I love playing the flute....and then there's the talk I'm giving in the same sacrament meeting and to top it all off I get to give a primary lesson for Jenny's class. Funny thing is I'm excited about it all because it's different and it should be pretty fun if I just don't go into labor.
