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.

Sasha came home and said, "I broke a record today" I said, "I did too." I ran 5 miles witha baby jogger...which is something I've never actually had to do before..amazing enough...I got worn out at the end and had to walk the hills but besides that it was fine. Sasha is getting into great shape which is exciting.

I felt like I went fairly fast the first half..probably 10 minute mile pace but then slowed down just a little at the end.

Sarah - I am in awe - I just don't see where you get all of your energy!! Good job on the baby jogger, I got beat in a race by a woman pushing a baby jogger, she was in incredible shape so I am sure it is a good workout!!

Thanks Bonnie. I've actually been in awe of you along....you seem to be very dedicated to the sport and I admire that. I love running with my babies sometimes..they love the fresh air and the ride. Mostly Sasha is protective of my runs and offers to watch the current baby so I am kind of spoiled.

Well, you know that I am super impressed! Was it the double jogger or the single? This is probably a blog record for females running with a jogging stroller. Great job! The Pachevs all seem to be setting records right now. Excellent!

Well guys..not that I don't LOVE the praise and all but my super beloved Adrianne(crumpybl) has us all beat and I think LuLu too.

Sarah, thanks for the compliment. I've been buried in life lately and haven't been too active here. I think of the stroller as adding a strength component to the workout. I certainly used to really feel it in my hamstrings. Now it is not such a big deal anymore. I did do speed work last week in the hills with the stroller I didn't wear a watch. It is getting easier and I think I am getting faster with the stroller. I hope you find it a great time to run with your babies! Congrats on all your five milers!

It is easy for me to be dedicated, I don't have nearly as many pulls on my time. Even though I have a fairly stressful job, Dean and I have very little else to worry about (except the animals and compared to 5 children they are easy!).

I am happy that both you, and Sasha, have such supportive spouses (and children)!!

So have you seen all the stuff on Sasha's blog about getting together at St. George? It won't be the same without you! You must must must come! YAY! I don't mean to pressure you. No wait, I do. : )

Man, I miss you, Sarah! I wish you were here in Iowa to help me figure out what's wrong with me. I really want to talk to you. I am going to call tomorrow

From sarah on Wed, Sep 05, 2007 at 23:30:52

I miss you too Adrianne!!

Lybi: You are too sweet....of course we would love to come to St. George...are you guys bringing the kids...we are debating what we are doing....I'm excited for you to actually meet some people...is Brent going to be there...I know you really wanted to meet him in Provo. Sorry that was a disappointment. I hope St. George makes up for it.

My sweet mother is watching our kids, so we will be footloose and carefree. This whole thing is a mega-date for us (with a little running on the side, I guess). At least that is it from my perspective. To him it is probably a mega-run with a little wife on the side. He he.

This shows great strength that you can do this stroller running. When I lived in Tucson, AZ, it was flat and I sued to run with a stroller, but when I moved to Utah I realized there are hills in every run, which are magnified with a jogging stroller. I haven't jogged with a jogging stoller in Utah because it poops me out!
