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.
Funny how running doesn't put me into labor. Everyone I know tells me to go for a walk and when I told them I've already been for a run they get real quiet and don't know what to say.
this is pretty funny story :). I thought that with the 5th baby you wouldn't have a problem being overdue, but I guess you never know! Anyway, I wish you a speedy and easy labor. Looks like you're in great shape, so it can only help. I don't know how you can even run being 9 months pregnant, let alone 12:00 pace - you ARE pretty amazing, so believe everyone who tells you that. I was walking in my last week, but it wasn't easy, I was so big... all I was wishing for is to get the baby OUT!!
