Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.

Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)

Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).  

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.

Long-Term Running Goals:

2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.

Personal:

I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew,  Mary,  Bella.  and Leigha. We home school our children.

I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Favorite Quote:

Cross-country race in the AM (Race Cats) - the distances were suspicious as the 3 K was more than 2 K + 1 K. Jacob got 11:33, William 11:59, Stephen 8:31, Matthew 4:58. Jacob's time at 1 K mark was 3:55, William's 4:00. I ran around cheering.

In the PM ran 8 with Joseph with a 4 mile tempo down the canyon in 23:53 (5:58, 5:54, 6:04, 5:57). This was the longest he has ever run at 6:00 average.

Jenny still on the elliptical, Julia still on 6 miles a day at a comfortable pace.

Kids ran in the state XC championship today. results:

Stephen (7-8) 2 K 9:24 7th - I think he did not invest himself mentally. We need to work on toughness. But he did qualify for the nationals.

William (9-10) 3 K - 11:14, 1st in a competitive race. Took the lead around 1.2 K mark like I told him, put in good effort to gap the field, and won by 12 seconds.

Jacob (11-12) 10:39, 2nd place in a close battle against McKay Wells (10:37). Trailed him most of the way, then closed the gap and made contact with maybe 200 to go, but lost the kick. Good race.

Bonnie (11-12) - 12:13, 10th place, good race - qualified for the nationals. The race was the most competitive I've ever seen beyond anything - the winner Anika Hunt ran 10:47, Avalon Mecham 2nd place 10:54.

My race - ran 18:10. Teren had 15:38, Nate 15:53. What is strange is that we ran what looked like the same course, but Teren improved by 42 seconds, and I improved by 39 from last year.

Joseph was sick and did not run the race - just jogged a couple of miles at home. I ran two more at home with Jacob and Matthew.

Sarah did not go into labor.

Day of rest. Sort of. Leigha Anne Pachev was born today. We were in the middle of home delivery as usual, but then we discovered a surprise. She was breech. So we went to the hospital, and Sarah had an emergency C section. Otherwise everthing went OK.

Crazy day. Sarah gave birth to Leigha yesterday. It did not go the way we planned. We discovered the baby was not positioned right at the very last moment (breech), and drove to the hospital where she had a C-section.

Sarah is still recovering.

Nevertheless, with all of the commotion, we were able to get our runs in, and Sarah came home from the hospital after one night of stay.

Thanksgiving race report:

Total turkey count: 9 - everybody except Benjamin and Leigha (11 people) participated, everybody except Sarah, Jenny, and Julia won a turkey. Additionally, we won a turkey + some extras for the largest family.

Myself: 22:59 officially, 23:00 on my watch. 11th overall, 1st in 45-49, got a turkey. Felt like I did not have a whole lot of energy. Chad had a breakthrough race, ran 22:27. Jeff McClellan is back to racing, ran 21:55. Dave Taylor came back to me this time with about a mile to go, and finished a bit behind - 23:06.

Sarah - walked 2 miles in 37 minutes 11 days after a C-section.

Jenny - 26:39, 2nd in 15-18, good race for her current condition - she has been fighting rib pain that we think now is to a great degree from the school stress on top of the general predisposition/weakness in that area.

Julia - 29:51 - hanging in there. She has had some health troubles lately. Blood tests are not showing anything out of whack, but she struggles with endurance in spite of good training. We are still trying to figure out what is going on. Maybe she will just grow out of it. At least she can still run 7:30 pace for 4 miles, which is better than a lot of boys, not speak about girls.

Joseph 24:05, 1st in 13-14, turkey. Joseph also has been struggling lately both physically and mentally. Part of the problem is that he needs to learn to stay motivated and on task when things are not going well. Part of the problem is that he is about to start a growth spurt, and the whole thing is knocking him out of balance. Benjamin struggled when he was 10-12, but then later on stabilized and blossomed. Joseph is on a different schedule.

1 Mile:

Jacob 5:20, 1st in 11-12, and overall - turkey.
William 5:45, 1st in 9-10 and 2nd overall after Jacob - turkey.

800:

Stephen 3:00, 1st in 7-8 and overall - turkey
Matthew 3:24, 1st in 5-6 and 2nd overall after Stephen - turkey

400: Mary 2:16, 1st in 3-4, turkey
100: Bella 0:44, 1st in 0-2, turkey
