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.

This was the first race I've run since well..last year.  I've done alot of tempo runs. This was an okay time for several reasons.  

1.  William had a febral seizure last night and turned blue at the lips..had to call 911.  

2.  I was up all night watching over William.

3.  I have had a hard time recovering from Stephen and just barely got back into semi-decent shape(for me) 

I ran the first 2 miles in 16:10...then the sleep deprivation set in and I jogged mile 3 in about 8:53..then I finished somewhat strong in 8:20...hard..but not as hard as last year when the baby was much smaller..I have progressed.

I really need to get back into blogging....hope those of you who use this service appreciate the time and effort Sasha put into it to get it started..we love having you around!!!

I am super impressed that you did this under these circumstances! Scary about the seizure, ug. Nothing is as draining as severe child-stress. Hope all is well in Pachevland. Your awesomeness continues to inspire!

Lybi!!!! Good to hear from you. We are great. We are in the home that we made an offer on that same awful night before the race. The realtor had an appt with us and came around the same time the paramedics were leaving..we still did the paperwork for the offer because there was only a small window to make an offer on this house and I wanted it so badly. How are you..if you come to Provo again you are welcome to stay with us again. We have a full basement apt which makes staying with us nice...

Sasha, It's been a while since I have blogged my runs...but I have a question for you:

The Spanish Fork Track Club (for youth) practices at a time that doesn't work for our family. My daughter Alexis is 9 years old and my son Luke will turn 8 yrs. at the end of June. What options do I have for getting them involved? Hawk Harper told me to check out usatf's website, but I've found myself at a loss as to what direction to take. They don't seem to have a club in the Spanish Fork area. Do they have to be associated with or part of a club to participate in meets? Any suggestions or information would truly be appreciated! Hope the Pachev's are doing well. Tell Sarah hi for me.

Sorry Sarah, I hadn't payed close enough attention to where I was posting this question. I'll make my way to Sasha's blog. :)
