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.

7 x 400's, 1 mile WU, .55 CD. 

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.
