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.

Okay...I'm hopeless...I have no idea how far I ran today...running around the block by myself. I lost count and I accidentally forgot to turn the Garmin back on after stopping to take off my coat. I'm calling it a taper before a possible race tomorrow...especially since I woke up late and I had to push the baby in the stroller...However I am feeling back to my normal self and not overly stressed about cranky ladies or security guards.

Wow- I just read Michelle, Mik'L & your blog and you all are making me feel much better about my short run today (2.5) Must be something in the air affecting us all?! Glad to know I'm not alone!!! What's this about possible race tomorrow? YOU GO GIRL!! You'll do awesome!

Why does seeing somebody do less make anyone feel better about their own lack of training?

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, Nov 09, 2007 at 23:29:05

To add to the above - in order to succeed one must quit the habit of comparing.

Sorry Sasha, but it is nice to know when a day goes bad running-wise that you're not the only one!

Good luck tomorrow Sarah if you race!

Thanks for the support Christi and Mik'L...sorry if Sasha hurt your feelings...he really doesn't think about feelings because to him truth is above feelings. Your a very sweet gal Christi and we would sorely miss your comments.

No hurt feelings here. And really you have to understand my sarcastic sense of humor. I wasn't pleased that people didn't run hard Friday, I was just having fun & playing around. Sasha tells it like he sees it and I can appreciate it- he has lots of good ideas!

Mik'l - no matter how badly you perform there is always enough people that did worse. Just think about the millions of Americans that chose to stay in bed and/or watch TV that day. But looking at them will not help you do your best.

I'm sure there are some Russians who sit around watching TV all day, too! ;) Actually, it really is unfair to say that Americans watch TV all day...after all, some of the day we play video games, right?

Russian TV is so boring that they drink vodka instead.
