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 at footprinters park today with Sasha.  We ran a loop around the fields for a little over 10 miles.  In addition to that I ran too and from Sasha's house to give me a little over 16 miles for the day.  We ran 8 laps of the field at a harder pace, ranging from a marathon effort to threshold effort.  My HR peaked at 183, which was surprising considering how slow we were going.  We had to work really hard to run a decent pace.

We ran on the river trail today, and did a little tempo just to make sure that it was the grass that was slowing us down yesterday, and we are not getting hopelessly slow.  We ran 3 miles in 5:37, 5:36, and 5:29.  I actually felt really good for the pace we were running.

I ran earlier than normal with Sasha this morning, and we ran a little slower because of it.  Total time of about 1:18:00 for 10.1 miles

I ran 2 x 2 miles with Sasha this morning.  The goal was to hit them in 11:00 each.  So, nothing too hard, but fast enough to feel it.  We started off and hit the first mile in 5:32 after running the second quarter in 1:25 (whoops!) but then followed that up with a 5:26  to finish the first repeat in 10:58.  After a half mile recovery we ran the second repeat, hitting splits of 5:28, and 5:26 for a time of 10:54.  Total time for 10 miles was 1:10:48.

PM: I ran home from work today, and then added a little extra after I got back to get in 4 miles in about 31:00.

I started out my run with 5 miles easy in about 39:14.  After this, Sasha and I ran a 15 mile tempo, running the first 5 miles in 31:00 (uphill and into a headwind at times), running miles 6-10 of the tempo in 28:10, and finishing it up running miles 11-15 of the tempo in 26:40 (16:12 for the first 3 miles, followed by a 5:18 and a 5:10).  Total time for 20 miles was 2:05:04.  After I finished I ran an extra half mile in 4:18 just to get a little cool down in. 2:09:22 for 20.5 miles.
