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.
Great run SArah! I really hate it when my legs explode!!! I noticed the round ligment trouble yesterday- that is SO painful!!!! You are such and inspiration!!!
It was great to see you this morning! Thanks for the tomatoes and squash and zuchini. Is this your ploy to get me to eat healthier? ;) It just might work (for a day. . .).
Thanks Marion...the round ligament pain is bad...that can stop me cold in my tracks. The legs I can run through but ligament pain or contractions are not something I mess with.
Michelle-you are projecting Sasha's personality onto me!! But if you want to give me credit for getting you to eat healthier I'll take it...it was good to see you too. I'm having fun filling the toy room dresser today. I decided to put movies in one of the drawers...thanks again.
Did you escape the delightful feeling of your stomach tearing away from the rest of your body with 5 babies? Wow!! I'm not sure of the scientific definition but the layman terms would be that round ligaments are the ligaments that stretch as your stomach grows. My pains are at the bottom of my growing stomach and near my hips. I'm sure you experienced it you may just not have known the name..and I'm sure you won't get sympathy pains since you aren't growing a baby right now. ;)
Oh, I get all sorts of sympathy pains so NEVER say NEVER!
With my kids at about the point you are at right now, I always just felt like they were going to fall right out of me. So, maybe it is the same kind of thing---a lot of pressure and discomfort.
I thought it had something to do with babies, but I was not sure!
