Personal: I'm married to a very supportive, although slightly less enthusiastic runner than I. Alisha has run a little with me and participated in several 5k's, but mostly she supports me at races. She ran her first half in November, 2011. We have a son who was born in 2010, the year that I ran my first marathon. I participated in my first Triathlon in April 2011. I think I may have been bitten by the Ironman bug. Though an Ironman finish is a long term goal, I want to BQ first.
I find that the more I run the more I want to run. I consider my self a running addict. I like the motto: pain is weakness leaving your body. Favorite Blogs: |

| | I ran with sore legs this morning. Fortunately my schedule only called for 4 miles. It was a muggy 83 degrees this morning. At about 2 miles in it started raining on me. My last my was pretty much running through a down poor. It felt nice and helped cool me off. Pace: 8:15 Splits: 8:33 8:12 8:04 8:03 2:50 (.3 miles)

| | Wow. A cold front came through and changed the weather a little. When I ran wednesday morning it was about 82 degrees. This morning it was 52. I had to take Thursday off because I was completely fatigued from last weeks back to back 5K and long run. I felt strong this morning and ready to jump in to my long run tomorrow heading in to Labor day weekend. Time: 1:00:13 Pace: 8:10 Splits:

| | My legs felt absolutely trashed on this mornings run. It must be because of my 15 mile Sunday run at 7:55 pace followed by an 8.5 mile bike ride on Monday. I think it also has something to do with not taking an ice bath after my long run Sunday. That is one mistake I did not make today.

| | Nice recovery 5 mile run this morning. The rain felt nice between miles 2 and 3. I decided this morning that I have become a morning person. If not for getting up early to accomplish my runs, I doubt I would have been as successful with my 5 day a week running program. There are two reasons why I believe this to be the case. The first is that you are more likely to get your workout done if you do it first thing as opposed to waiting until the end of the day. You will probably find some excuse or task that you might tell yourself is more important to tend to in the evening. You will also come home some days and just feel too tired to run and tell yourself you need the night off. The second reason is that you feel so much better having gotten your workout out of the way after you have finished first thing in the morning. It allows you more time throughout your day to be productive in other areas without having your workout looming over you. Time: 0:42:27 Splits: 9:04 8:08 8:47 8:39 8:06

| | Well I should have taken a rest day instead of trying to run this morning. I was supposed to do 12 miles of speed training. I got about half a mile in to my warm up mile and realized I was way to fatigued to run cruise intervals, so I decided just to turn my workout into a nice and easy 12 mile run. Then I got to mile 3 and realized I better just turn around and head back because the only thing you could call what I was doing was running "junk miles." Looking forward to resting tomorrow.

Nice long run this morning. I did not negative split like I did last week, and I did run a 4 second slower pace. I think I could have improved a little bit on last weeks pace, but I was running with my new running partner today and I have a hard time running off and leaving someone. I eventually did on the last mile, but I probably should have broken somewhere during the last two or three. I've been looking forward to Sunday morning all week. I'm ready to relax for the rest of the day and watch the Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins tonight.

I ran 10 this morning at a nice 8:12 pace. Somehow it felt harder than my Sunday 15 miler at an 8:00 minute pace. I must still be recovering a little. Pace: 8:12 Splits: 7:44 7:57 8:03 8:00 7:50 8:17 8:26 8:53 8:26 8:31

| | My son Ty was born yesterday! He is my first and he is the most awesome baby in the world. I love him so much. We went in to the hospital Wednesday night around midnight. He was born on Thursday afternoon at 2:06 PM. We got absolutely no sleep Wednesday night or Thursday during the day. Thursday night I got a little lucky and he mostly slept through the night. I went running on Friday at the trail across the street from the hospital. I used to run there all the time years ago when we lived closer to that area of town. I spent quite a bit of my childhood there as well since I had a pretty active mom. It is for these reasons that running Lafortune park trail always brings back fond memories. Now I have a new memory of running there. I will always remember running Lafortune the day after my first was born. I wrote in my running log that it was really hot and I was a little dehydrated, but it was an awesome run! Pace: 8:24 Splits: 8:01 8:31 8:00 8:15 8:20 8:57 6:59 (.79 mi)

| | Speed training on the track. My training schedule called for 4 sets of 6X800 repeats. That is way too much time for me to spend on a track. I can handle 8 or 9 miles on a track, but the monotony of all those 800 is grueling. I only ended up completing 5 of the first set. I started out with 1 mile warm up followed by 3 miles at marathon pace. I will make an attempt to make up the lost mileage tonight if I feel it to be necessary and helpful.

| | Long Run. 56 degrees. Cloudy and just a little too windy. Running into the north was difficult and slowed me down by about 15 seconds per mile towards the end of my run. Overall I am pleased with my pace. Pace: 7:57 Time: 2:23:09 Splits: 7:52 8:08 7:46 7:54 7:42 7:38 7:49 7:51 8:22 7:49 7:58 8:19 8:05
