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.

Nice easy run...but not too easy. I tried to keep my spilts within the 2:28-2:30ish range. I had another blood sugar crash today. Not sure why it's happening.  I need to really make sure and have some food on my runs I guess but this shouldn't be happening in a normal training run.

This is inaccurate because I had to stop a bit early due to another blood sugar crash...feeling discouraged...plus my vacuum is dead....my washing machine is spitting out a gallon of water from the bottom....my garbage disposal is clogged with millions of potato peels (I never peel my red potato skins off...we just eat them with the skins but Sasha's mom put the peels down the disposal because I didn't know you couldn't have no experience with it myself)

Anyway...serious malfunctions are about to happen in my house tomorrow when the dishes that aren't washed begin to stink, the kids have no underwear and mom is sitting in a corner pretending everything is okay while I plot my escape to Lybi's house (can I come stay for another week?) I'm going to go eat something delicious and get my blood sugar back up..Raisin Bran sounds good. :)

 

Disclaimer: For anyone wondering about heartfelt advice they could give which I would appreciate...I am not pregnant or starving myself so I can't figure out where the heck these blood sugar crashes are coming from but any advice is welcome.

Didn't feel great today but didn't feel terrible either. I brought raisins with me and ate them in the middle of the run just in case. Did all five and feel good about that.

Ran all 5 with the baby jogger again. Plumbing problems are complicated and ours have gone on long enough this week to make me feel really grateful for when they are going to be working again. I kept up a good pace and ended with a time of 52:23.

As I stare at all the 5 milers from this month I can't help wondering if Mik'L is going to try and convince me to run 6 or 7 or more every once in awhile. I really think I'll be pregnant soon(of course Murphy's Law states I won't) I didn't think I'd have Jacob so soon after Joseph was born but lo and behold we have a darling Jacob. Now that I'm terribly baby hungry I probably won't get pregnant for awhil.  I have never miscarried and wonder if I will. I'm a little anxious about it but figure it is a painful experience (mostly emotionally) that girls go through as they pass on to womanhood. I guess I'm not a real woman yet. But I love the things I've been through and what I've learned that give me what I called on Michelle's blog as Woman Power. You don't have any without passing through a few trials so age is not important..it's what you've learned from what you've been through. Okay...enough philosophy..I'm going to work on a project..have a great Saturday everybody.
