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.

I felt better than yesterday today...I need to remember this is day to day and not think I'm done just because I have one bad day.

I have told Sasha I am not running in labor this time...he always thinks it's so funny to talk me into it...and he is terribly good at talking me into things...I married him didn't I?

You are funny! How about wearing the heartrate monitor during birth? That'd be fun, then we'd see your max heart rate. And then maybe Sasha could rig it to the internet so we can all watch your heartrate spikes during contractions. All in jest. . .

You are perfectly right. One day at a time, be it good, bad, or just plain ugly.

Don't even think about mentioning that to Sasha..what a riot that would be! He only tries to get me to run when I'm in pre-labor...he wouldn't dare mess with me when the real stuff is going on and I'm in so much pain.

Do you ever feel like an experiment? :D Sasha is actually writing a thesis on running and the pregnant woman.

Enjoy your day :) I'm so glad you had a good run today.

Ha!! Yes..I do. I used to get so offended when he asked me for my times (mostly when I was pregnant or recovering from a baby and couldn't go very fast). Now I've gotten used to it and realize he really is just madly fascinated with numbers...men!!

Hey Sarah- You're still plugging along wonderfully! Sounds like that baby will be here soon!

6 weeks to go and you're still pounding the pavement! I am just flabbergasted! And proud...she is MY friend, everyone. I know her! I need an autograph.

Thanks Lybi! I miss you!
