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.

I'll make all of you girls jealous today...I got to run with Mik'L this morning. She got up and ran around my block with me at 5 a.m.!!!  She told me this awesome story about how James said to Lybi the day before we came to stay with them back in the wee days of the blog. "Uh, honey, I met this guy on the internet (??) and his entire family is coming to stay with us tomorrow. " Lybi may tell you crazy stories about me slaving away for their family while she lounged around in bed (super sick and I wished I could have nursed her more than I was able to) but that lady treated us like royalty and I am ever grateful to her for one of the most pleasant visits I've ever had. And for all of you that know Lybi you know that she is ...well...what can I say...she's just a special lady and we all love her. :) Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you are all truly grateful for the challenges you have and for the blessings you receive from facing those challenges with courage and faith. I know I am and I'm thankful for the insight I had to marry Sasha...I almost let him slip away. 

Thanks Mik'l for listening to me ramble today..I hope I let you get a few words in edgewise.  

Have a great day everyone.

Sounds like a great way to get the morning started! Sounds like you had s great time! Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on all we have to be greatful for and like you I have so much...including the trials that make us stronger and the blessings that come! Have a great week and Thanksgiving!

Yes, I do live in Houston. And strangely enough my name's Sarah too, heh.

Well, hearing it from the other side - Lybi had a GREAT time with you guys!!!! I'm not even sure I knew she was sick. And your influence has forever changed their family for the better!! She said that you two just clicked and laughed the whole time. And when I feel slightly intimidated by Sasha, Lybi just says, "You'll have to meet him someday! He's the most soft-spoken guy!"

Great run!! Sounds like it was a fun one - but in Provo at 5 a.m., I bet it was a cold one too! How do you dress for the cold?

From Lybi on Wed, Nov 21, 2007 at 20:40:27

*Blush* Well, I wasn't that sick, but yes, you did do all the cooking for both our families, as well as most of the protecting of our children from rooftop mountain lions! Now I am wondering if you guys are going to give me a second chance to redeem myself as hostess, now that I understand your dietary needs etc. Dang it! I wish we had that house with the Pachev suite I looked at. It was only $850,000. Ha ha.

I'm glad you got to run with Mik'L though. Fun times. Good job on your run, Sarah! Happy Thanksgiving.

And Laura, I'm not sure Sasha is really soft spoken, but he's good--through and through. Not a meanie.

So sorry Lybi...didn't mean to make you blush...I meant it as a tribute to you...you know I think you are a wonderful person. And yes Laura...Sasha isn't soft spoken mostly because he is very loud...he wakes babies up when he gets up to bear his testimony. If you guys are ever in Provo...please come and see us...where is it you live exactly?
