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.

It actually felt really really really really ..I could go on..really good to write in a zero. I like taking breaks. We are soooo taking a break today. In fact the whole Fast Running Family is not running today. Go ahead ...make it a national holiday...the day no one in the Pachev house ran. Sasha has a terrible high fever and is half delirious. Benjamin has it, Jenny has it and Jospeh has it. Jacob had it last week and Julia too. By the grace of God I have been spared so I can keep everyone around here somewhat alive and William also is not sick although he hasn't napped normally for like three days because Sasha keeps waking him up because he's going in and out of his sick room. If the insomnia last week was bad..this may be worse. Good thoughts and prayers this way much appreciated because I'm about ready to crack. Taking care of sick kids, husband and a baby for several days straight is getting to me (which is why I'm not running today either....don't want to get sicker than I am and I need every ounce of strength to keep things running)

I have reverted to morning cartoons...which I NEVER let my kids watch..I hate having them sit around and watch TV but this is an EMERGENCY!!!!

I did write a zero there this morning..just x that entry...well I'm leaving it for entertainment value. I had to get out and run a little. It felt great. I think I'll go for 2 tomorrow and will be back at 3 by the weekend. :)

oh my Sarah -- keep the faith! You do whatever you need to keep your own strength up (even watching mind-numbing cartoons). I hope everyone feels better soon.

I am so sorry you guys are sick! Cartoons were made for times like this. Laying around is the best thing for you! Do you need me to run to the store for you? I am going to Provo around 5 ish. I could leave the loot on the door step. :)

That is the danger of large families---everyone seems to get sick at the same time!!! When all is well, many kids are great, but when they are all sick...not so great! Sorry to hear it has hit you all so hard.

YOU STAY WELL and forget about the cartoons!!! PBS is great, let them watch that all day! They might even catch a conference talk or two without noticing!

I don't think I'm gonna get it.I feel really good I just don't handle sick husband, sick kids and a little baby very well with the nervous system God gave me for this life..thank goodness Sasha is a rock!!

I think we are okay on groceries...thank you Marion. I hope to be on the mend next week and have more cheerful posts but we just have to deal with what life gives us. :)

Oh Sarah! I am sooo sorry, and I totally get the...what is it? The wear and tear on the mommy when everyone is sick. And this sounds like quite a doozy! At times like this I always call my mom and commiserate. She understands! But if you don't want to call my mom, you can call me! :P

Wow - you must all be really sick for Sasha to be down! Take care of yourself and don't think you have to do everything for everyone. As long as no one dies of starvation and you change diapers, that is plenty. Besides, I am sure that none of the kids will become serial (or cereal) killers after a day of tv. They just might want stuff from commercials.

I think it is the HARDEST when the husband is sick---no relief in sight!!! Plus, at least speaking for myself, my husband is a wimp when he is sick and acts like no one has ever been as sick as he is. But, that is just Scott. I am sure Sasha is NO WIMP!

Hang in there, this too shall pass.
