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.

Really really wanted to get out and try running a little bit today. My midwife appt is tomorrow and I'm pretty sure she'll okay exercise just as long as it doesn't start my bleeding back up...I'm good to go.  I didn't tear or even really damage myself at all with this delivery.  I'm excited to get back into it because it helps me sleep better at night. I've been sleeping pretty well actually but wouldn't mind even deeper sleep so I can go back to sleep more easily after the 3 or 4 o'clock feeding.

With no tears and little or no bleeding this week my midwife okayed for me to start running again...slow..but I can do it if I don't bleed a lot from it. Yay!!!!! 

I'm not really sure how far I went or how fast because duh..I just had a baby and am just playing around right now but it felt good to move my legs a little. Okay...it didnt' feel that good but you know what I mean. I was surprised that my legs were tight..I kind of thought they would feel fresh after sitting on the couch for two weeks. I feel like me and that couch are one...we've really bonded. :)

So I went my slow end of pregnancy pace and just was testing the waters. We'll see if I get out every day or not...it's nice that I don't have to push myself but it's also nice that I can get off the couch and go outside for a teeny tiny baby run if I feel like it. I'll start more serious training at the 6 week mark.(meaning I'll try to do 14 minute miles for 1 or 1/2 miles..nothing heroic)  Right now I'll just get out for sanity's sake. have a good day everyone. ;)
