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.

Approximately 5 miles in 36 minutes.

I planned on running 7 miles, but I got out of the house later than planned, and then had to make an emergency pit stop at a gas station.  This problem was confounded when the gas station bathroom was occupied and I had to wait for a while to use it.  As a result of all of this, I had to shorten my run to 5 miles this morning.

56:40 for approximately 7 miles.

I got out earlier this morning than I did yesterday and I didn't have to make a pit stop, so I was able to run 7 miles.  My average pace was on the slower side as I was running up in the hills.

Approximately 7 miles in two segments.  First, 5 miles in 34:40, later 2 miles in 15:30.

I got out super late this morning as it was cold and I could not find my running pants.  After 20+ minutes of searching my wife remembered that she had put them in the garage.  As a result, I only had time for 5 miles before the kids went to school.  Later after they had all been dropped off I went out for two more miles.

Approximately 7 miles in 53:23 (maybe a little short this morning as the GPS was acting wonky?)

I ran pretty easy for the first half of the run this morning, and then picked up the effort some during the second half.  Early on in the run I considered running a mile tempo near the end of the run, but just didn't feel like it when the time came.

Total time of 52:03 for approximately 7 miles.

I ran approximately 1 mile hard (a little farther, but I'm not sure how much as I am not sure how accurate the watch was today) near the end of the run, with a total time for the hard running between 6:20-6:30.  I averaged 7:30-7:40 pace for most of the remainder of the run.
