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: |

| | 9 miles at a 7:09 pace on New Years Day. I ran this one just a little bit harder than I was comfortable with given my current condition. I feel like I pushed myself just enough to feel really good about this run. I especially feel good since I've been slacking on my number of runs per week lately.

| | I got an 8 mile run in this morning with Kevin. The 6 degree wind chill from the 18 mph north wind was not so nice, but the work out was incredible.
The screw shoes rose to the occasion once again. 8:14 AP.

| | 8 miles at 1 degree wind chill. I was only miserable for the first 2 miles. Once I warmed up this run was moderately enjoyable. I wore my had and ear warmers. I probably should have gone ski mask because I was picking ice crystals out of my beard.

| | I attempted the first tempo run of the year and on the first week of the Hal Higdon half marathon advanced program. I modified the porgram slightly because his distances are mostly all in minutes, but I like to plan out the miles.
Today I intended on running 6 miles with 4 at tempo pace. Splits: 8:11, 6:46, 6:39, 6:57, 6:53, 8:25. So I ended up running one that would qualify as a tempo, but since my half marathon goal pace is 6:52 or less I ended up running about 2 at half pace and one at marathon pace.
The good thing is that I get another attempt next week. I really want to take this spring to focus on my speed. The tempo has always been my weakest link.

Splits: 1:37, 1:32, 1:35, 1:30, 1:28, 1:21, 1:30.
Temperature: 21, feels like 2. 22 mph winds. I might have stayed in bed had this been a less important workout. Those 400's running into the north wind were tough.

| | 6 w/4 at tempo pace. 1 WU and 1 CD. (22 mph winds, Wind Chill 1). I ran the third tempo mile all into the north wind and slightly up hill. The fourth tempo mile was partially into the wind. Between the high winds and the cold I just didn't have the energy to hold my tempo pace this morning. Splits: 7:05, 6:45, 6:28, 7:04, 7:09, 8:09.

I bought a 6 pack of socks recently. I ran for the first time in one of them this morning and took my shoes off when I got home to find holes in the big toe area of both sides. Hopefully that was just a fluke with the one pair.
