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.

A bush that grew along the highways? That's a good one :) He He!

By the way, where is the search tool on the blog? Can't seem to find it, Sasha also mentioned some kinda way to find a distance on a 5k I ran once can't seem to find that either? Maybe I'm just blind!

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, Aug 17, 2007 at 18:23:24

Michelle - the search box is on the right side of this page. The Course Tool appears when you log in, there is a link to it on the left side.

Also - Sarah got it wrong. I did not think that a skunk was a plant. I just did not recognize the smell, and thought that it came from some exotic tropical plant (I first smelled skunk in the LA area). Then I was surprised to find the same tropical plant smell in Utah, and thought that was rather odd.

I got a chuckle out of the slightly over bearing husband and surviving a his personal training. You might have the best accomplishment on the blog!

I dare you to go farther than 4 while you have someone to watch the kids! ;)

Sarah, we must make the best of every opportunity to taunt Sasha about this! No actually, we should sympathize. The first time I smelled my husband after a run, I thought it was some horrible freak-of-nature plant too.

Don't tell 'im I said so...

From crumpyb1 on Sat, Aug 18, 2007 at 11:30:48

Sarah, I am having a hard time typing in the bio parts. It won't let my click on it. But, I was able to do everything else.

Will is doing great. I know he misses you big time. He enjoys taking the public bus to Campus--no car-seat and tons of people to stare at.

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your support on my 20 miler yesterday. It turned out great, and thankfully I did have people to talk to and distract me. In fact, we probably talked way too much (av. 11 min miles!)

From sarah on Sun, Aug 19, 2007 at 23:39:05

Okay..I'm am so embarrassed...I have to publicly apoligize to my sweet husband. Michael has set the record straight and you guys aren't going to believe it but there is a bush that grows in the west that has a bad smell if you mess with it called...you'll never guess...that's right....a Skunk Bush. If you don't believe me ask Michael who is now the official skunk expert of the website.
