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 14 miles today. My schedule called for a 9:07 per mile pace. I ended up finishing in something closer to 9 minute miles. Left lower inner leg felt slightly tender on the run, and the bottom of my left foot felt tender was well. Right knee felt mostly fine. My endurance seems to be coming along, although when I got home gobbled up a cheese steak, peppers and onions, french fries, a whole avocado, two hard boiled eggs, two slices of cheese, some crackers, and a large bagel toasted with cream cheese and jam. It was delicious. Splits: 9:11, 9:03, 9:25, 9:26, 8:49, 9:21, 9:31, 9:29, 8:49, 9:00. Now I realize why I should have paid more money for a better watch. My heart rate monitor has been acting up, and I can only record 10 splits.

I ran an easy 6 today at a 8:16 pace. My stomach was cramping for about 5 of the 6 miles. I think my digestive system is a little off because Alisha and I have been eating a lot of meals out this past week or two. We found out only about three weeks ago that she is pregnant, and as a result she has not felt up to cooking much lately. I guess I'm going to need to learn to make a few meals if I'm going to sustain our healthy diet. My legs felt mostly good, although my left foot was feeling a little sore near the heal area. I'm trying to concentrate more on landing on the balls of my feet rather than the heels. Splits: 8:48, 7:44, 8:16, 8:17, 8:32, 8:07

We have had a harsh winter, weather wise. A huge ice storm moved in this afternoon. The temperature has been hovering around 32 degrees, with 15 to 20 mph winds. So today I broke down and joined a health club. I figured I could utilize the indoor training facility on the cold, nasty days of the winter. I can also take advantage of the great elliptical trainers, and AMT machines for my cross training as part of my marathon program. I really haven't had any good cross training activities since I began marathon training, so this will be good. I'll be able to really kick my training in to high gear and accomplish my goal of 26.2 miles in April. I ran 7 miles on the treadmill tonight while watching the news. It is so different from road running, that I felt really strange, like I didn't belong. After about 2 miles though, I started to become more comfortable. It has been so long since I used a treadmill. I enjoyed being able to take so much control over my pace, but it takes a little something away from the running experience. Running treadmill is like taking away all the unknowns. There are no rolling hills that come up to hit you and push you to your limits. My goal tonight was to run 7 miles at a 9:07 pace. I ran 7 in an 8:54 pace.
Splits: 9:50, 9:06, 8:25, 8:49, 8:46, 8:51, 8:33
