Sub 2:19:00 marathon 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. |

| 10 miles easy this morning. I kept the pace around 8:00 for the first half, and then sped up a little the second half of the run. |

| I ran too and from school today. I ran fairly fast both ways, because I was playing around with my stride length/frequency (yes I am weird, but at least I acknowledge it) during the morning run, and I ran a couple fat miles during the evening run. I will need to make sure to run slow tomorrow. The total distance for today is a little longer than normal because instead of running home, I ran to pick up Kimia from a relief society activity, so it added a little extra distance. 17.7 miles total. Total time of 2:09:00. |

I was really good this morning and I didn't run too fast. I ran to school in a time of 1:08:32. I will run home in a bit to finish off my day. I ran home after school. Another 8.6 miles in 1:08:50. It was super windy outside, and I would have finished slower, but the last mile has a fairly steep downhill grade on it, so I sped up some. |

I ran to school in Crocs this morning. I decided to finally take the plunge and buy some. I got a pair for $15 at the Crocs outlet store here in Vegas. On the good side, they are very light, and I think the cushioning is adequate for someone who wants to be close to barefoot without wanting to go all the way. On the bad side, I needed to buy them a size too small so that they wouldn't fall off of my feet, and the right shoe had a strap that was just a little smaller than on the left, and it took about 7 miles before it finally started to feel a little more comfortable (whereas up until that point it felt like my toes were being jammed into the front of the shoe). The plastic hinge also was digging into my foot, and it left a red mark on the right foot, and a blister on the left. Maybe Crocs will make a shoe in the near future that is a little more running friendly, as there is potential, but right now they take a little getting used to.
PM: 6 miles at the group run put on by the village runner, as Kimia picked me up at school. My right calf felt pretty tight at the end, and was a little sore afterwards. |

| 10 miles easy this morning before heading out to LA for a wedding in the evening. My calf felt fine for the first couple miles, and it felt tight up until mile 5 or 6. After that it started to hurt, and I had to stop a couple times to massage it out. |

| I ran barefoot on the beach in Marina Del Rey this morning. I was hoping that it would help with the calf pain I have been feeling, and for a while things seemed to be going pretty good. I was planning on only running 10 miles because of the calf pain the day before, but I decided to run 12 instead when I was 5 miles out. I ended up turning around earlier only because there was an amusement park on the beach that got in the way. That ended up being a blessing in disguise for me, as around 6.5 miles into the run my calf started to hurt, and I had a decent amount of pain from there to the finish. So, overall I would say the calf was better than the day before, but not by much. I ended up with 11 miles on the day. |
