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.

Didn't mind running by myself quite as much. I'm also getting used to the slower times and not quite so mad about it....It's always a little bit hard to let go but I've learned pushing myself during a pregnancy is not an option. Nice and easy works a lot better. I'm looking forward to this week and hope everyone else enjoys their time this week too.

Great run, Sarah!!! By the way, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your pregnancy!! That's wonderful. I'm amazed you can keep up running while you're pregnant. You amazing woman, you!!!!!

I second Laura's comment!!! You are truly dedicated to your sport, that's so amazing. A few months into my pregnancy, I didn't even feel like standing for more than a few minutes at a time and running would have been out of the question!!! If I am blessed to have another child, I will have to ask you how you do it!!!

Congrats on your blessing :)

I'm dedicated to the sport for a few reasons. During my second pregnancy I stopped exercising and I had a terrible prenancy..inosomnia, depression, etc...I noticed for my body when I started exercising that if I run I sleep. So basically I guess I just like sleeping. I also noticed it helps my motivation levels overall. I feel less motivated to do things around the house if I skip a run..weird but true. Also I have fairly easy pregnancies so it's not really that much of a sacrifice for me to keep running. People that have harder pregnancies definitely have a harder time training through them. I met an Olympic Athlete from Mexico who didn't run when she was pregnant...everyone is different.
