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, and we ran 2 x 1.5 miles at 5:20 goal pace.  We hit quarter splits of 79, 82, 80, 79, 80, 78 (7:58) for the first repeat on our way out to the lake.  On the way back we hit quarter splits of 80, 80, 80, 80, 79, 76 (7:55) on the same stretch of trail running in the opposite direction.  Total time for 15.1 miles was 1:51:51

I ran a 1000m time trial today in 2:43, which is not too bad considering that it was somewhat windy, and I feel like the wind really affected me as I was running hard enough that even just a little more effort expended at the beginning while fighting the wind really sucked the energy out of me.  By the time I hit 500m I felt dead, but I kept fighting and was able to recover just a little over the last 200m.  200 splits were 31, 32, 33, 34, 33 (2:10 for 800).  I was shooting for a 2:40, so I was not too far off pace.  Sasha ran 2:12 for 800, starting 200m after me and then drafting behind me. Afterwards I finished what I eventually decided was a little over 10 miles, so I am calling the run 10.1 miles.

I ran a long run with Sasha this morning.  We ran out to the end of the trail and back twice.  We ran the last 5.05 miles from the end of the trail back to Sasha's house fast to finish the run in 2:15ish.  Last 5+ miles in the mid 28:00 range.  Temperatures got up to the mid 80's by the end of the run, so that affected us during the last few miles.
