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 11.25 miles this morning in 1:21:40.  I ran a half mile fast catching up to another runner, and just as I caught up to him he turned right, while I had to turn left, so I wasn't able to talk to him at all.  I am not sore at all, but my legs still feel off after the long run on Saturday plus the lunges and jumps I performed Saturday evening.

I ran home from school in the evening to get in an extra 1.5 miles.

I didn't feel good today so I only ran 8 miles, followed by an extra mile and a half running home from school in the evening.

I progressively ran more and more each day from Tuesday until Friday, making it to Friday with a weekly total of 55 miles.  I didn't feel great on Tuesday, but I felt a little better each day this week.  The workout I ran last Saturday was probably a little over ambitious considering it was my first 20 miler of the year, but I feel a little better now that have been running easy all week.

I felt horrible today.  I was planning on doing a long run, but I scrapped those plans and decided to run 15 miles instead.  During the run I scrapped those plans and decided on 12.5 miles, which I changed again, running 11.5 miles instead.  I stopped 3 times during the second half of the run to take breaks as I did not feel good.
