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.

Tight calves today but otherwise a good run. I feel like my cardiovascular system is still in fairly good condition...it's my changing body that holds me back.....overall felt pretty good and I'm grateful that my fall wasn't worse or kept me down longer. 

Don't try this at home:

Yesterday I was feeling the beginnings of mastitis(a yucky infection that I didn't know pregnant women could get). I have had success treating this at home before with garlic. So I was very diligently popping in whole cloves of garlic and eating them straight. The last clove I ate I guess I did on an empty stomach...baaaaad idea. I was in my room when my body rebelled and I nearly lost my cookies (or I guess my garlic). It was nooo fun. I was too weak to make it to the kitchen and get something in my stomach but luckily I had a few pieces of molasses licorice in my bedroom...it worked..I didn't throw up and my mastitis symptoms are totally gone this morning. Moral of this story...never never never never eat garlic on an completely empty stomach.

Now you've taught us not to have garlic or magnesium on an empty stomach! What will you teach us next? :) One thing I know for sure, The Pachevs will never, ever have a vampire problem at their home! :D

I thought someone might remember the magnesium thing too...sigh...I'm learning.

Garlic is wonderful for mastitis. I've had a really bad case before and I wanted to try garlic for a day before I broke down and got antibiotics...I was better the next day.
