This is what I have so far but I'm not sure if it is correct.
Basically I want to the workflow to do this:
If current item field equals value send email but if current item field equals different value do not send email.
Will all of your items have values in those fields that match one of the conditions above? If you're mostly interested in ensuring that items only matching a specific condition trigger an email action, then I would consider changing your Else statement to reflect the opposite of your initial condition:
Else if Current Item:Status not equals Pending
Still including your log actions (and if I understand your criteria correctly), that should allow the workflow to function as you're expecting.
