Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

I ran with Sasha this morning.  We ended up running 3x1200 during the run in 3:57, 4:02, 3:50.  I felt tired during the repeats.  I think that not getting enough sleep the last couple nights, along with not being used to the stress on the nervous system that comes from running as fast as I did in the race on Saturday made me feel more tired than usual.  Total time of 1:18:45 for the run.

PM: 5 miles in 37:19.  Didn't feel as tired as I did this morning.

I ran with Anita in the jogging stroller for the first time today.  Finished 10.1 miles in 1:22:11.  So, slower than normal, but not too much slower.  I did notice that although I was not working too much harder than normal that there was an added muscular stress that I am not used to and I was feeling a difference by the end of the run.

Ran easy this morning with Sasha.  Finished the run in 1:21:07.  I was feeling really slow this morning.  I probably need to take it easy the rest of today.

I ran a 20 mile long run with Sasha this morning in 2:18:04.  We ran up the Provo Canyon until we hit the 10 mile mark, which is almost at bridal veil falls.  On the way up the canyon we ran a 3 mile tempo in 17:28 (5:53, 5:49, 5:46).  We ran another 3 mile tempo on the same section of trail on our way back in 15:55 (5:28, 5:19, 5:08).  At the end of the run we ran 1.5 miles fast to finish the run hitting the last 1.5 in 8:28 (2:53, 2:50, 2:45 for half mile splits).

PM:  I ran home from work, first running to the church so that I could lock it up and turn out the lights, followed by running home.  This gave me an extra 3.7 miles for the day to finish it off.  This is actually the highest mileage that I have ever run in a single day, excluding the marathons.
