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.

2.5 around the block. I got up early enough to go 2.5 on the trail before Sasha's posse showed up bright and early but the Easter Bunny needed some help so I didn't get out until closer to 7. I've decided that I can't handle running around the block by myself for more than 2.5 miles. If I'm lucky and Sasha doesn't run until 6:30 then I can get 2.5 on the trail and then finish at home...I don't mind that...but 5 miles around the block by myself in the cold and dark........

So I've noticed with this pregnancy that I am markedly less tired than I was with the last two pregnancies. The only other time I was feeling this good was when I had been running 5 miles a day like when I got pregnant with Juila....and actually I'm less tired and less sick when I'm pregnant with a girl. The boys inside me just wear me out more I guess. So I'm thinking that running 5 a day is like magic for my body and I'm feeling grateful for running and grateful to be in shape.

So again I'll finish my run with the girls this afternoon in the sunshine...they love running with Mommy. Juila runs a perfect pace for me so it works out great. Jenny doesn't mind running slowly because she can talk my ear off.

Sorry about the confusion, my wife does run a lot more than I do, she has just been down with morning sickness the last month or so! Thanks for the comments though, it is nice to see that people read and respond.

Yes..people do read and respond on this blog and the more the merrier. We are a thriving, fun and caring community and it's thrilling to see it growing. I'm due October 20th and have been down with morning sickness too I just don't get it as bad as some women. I slow down a minute per mile but still run 5 miles a day...morning sickness and all....but really I'm not super sick...
