Personal:

I got married on Feb. 22nd of 2008 and I am loving married life (it sure beats the long distance thing). My beautiful wife Kimia is very supportive of my running.

I grew up in Washington and started running in junior high. After high school I came out to Utah and ran with BYU for 1 year before going on a mission, however BYU cut me from its team after my mission.  I started running with Sasha shortly thereafter, and now I am slowly turning myself into a marathoner.

I am also the proud daddy of two little ones, as Anita Maryam McClellan was born on March 16th 2010, and Shayon Ray McClellan was born on July 8th 2011.  I am loving the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and now my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work, school, and running.

I still feel achy in the mornings and this morning was no different, so something is still wrong, but on the positive side of things my HR was a little on the lower side this morning (though still higher than I would expect it to be).  I ran 4 miles again, with another 1:30 hard just like yesterday.  Total time of 29:53.

I ran 4 miles today.  Starting today I am slowly going to start increasing the mileage again.  I ran hard for about 1:30 near the end of the run to see how my body would respond.  Things seemed fairly positive, which is better than I have been able to say for the last couple weeks since I got back from Arizona.  I am thinking more and more that there is an allergic/asthma component to what ails me as I noticed today that when I felt like my airways were more relaxed my HR dropped.  I am also severely allergic to the city of Las Vegas, and I wish that it were only a spiritual allergy to the sin in "sin city" and not a physical one.  Total time of 30:23 for the run.

3 miles today with both kids in the stroller.  Effort was actually pretty decent despite only finishing in 24:57 as I was using the normal stroller which weighs 40+ pounds and does not roll well like a running stroller, in addition to the kids who weigh about 40 pounds combined.
