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.

Decided two days of rest and a Sunday was good enough...back on 5 a day. I think I'm mentally and physically over the cabinet trauma.  We had a nice day yesterday. I made homemade ice cream, whipped cream, caramel and fudge sauces for fabulous banana splits. I'm hoarding the little remaining caramel sauce for myself. 

I always take really good care of myself during my pregnancies and eat like a horse....it's starting to show...despite still running 5 miles a day I am about to pass Sasha in weight (which isn't that hard to do) . His nickname for me (in Russian because we try to speak Russian most of the time) is Little Mouse. However when I am pregnant I become the Big Mouse of the family.

Sarah, You are such an awesome pregnant runner! I wish I would have been a runner during pregnancies! It didn't even cross my mind.

I love homemade hot fudge and caramel sauce! Sounds like you guys had a fabulous Sunday treat! Does Sasha actually eat it though?

I did not eat the ice cream due to the lactose issues. But I ate some other stuff. Sarah makes sweet stuff that I would eat. What makes a difference is a better balance of sugars.

I make it with evaporated cane juice but it doesn't eat dairy products so he passed on everything but the bananas and cherries. He is missing out...that was the best caramel sauce I've ever tasted in my life!!

Ice cream sundae's!! Are you allowed to talk about these kinds of foods on a running blog?! Kidding- Sounds great! Good thing I live 1500 miles away or I would ask to be invited over for dessert! :o)

Only if you run it off the next day. We do however use non refined sugars like evaporated cane juice and agave. The fudge sauce had carob and not chocolate and everything was homemade from all natural ingredients. I burned off the calories way before I even ate it just from the sheer work of making all that stuff. :)

mmmmm! Please post recipes - especially the caramel sauce.
