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 am feeling really drained.  I took a 3 hour nap after church today

Lately it hasn't mattered how much sleep I am getting, I have just felt really drained. Anyhow, I missed Sasha this morning, so I went home to get a little extra sleep. In the afternoon I only ran 5 miles because I wasn't feeling so hot.

I felt better today than I did yesterday, but I still felt a little drained.  For the most part I ran slow, but I picked it up to about 6:00 pace for a bit so that I could drop some guy running with his dog who was trying to keep up with me.

I didn't run hard, but it was probably a little faster than it should have been.  Nothing special otherwise.

I ran a 15 mile tempo with Sasha.  I didn't want to kill myself like I did last time, so we kept the pace slower for most of the tempo.  Mile splits are:

5:52, 5:51, 5:51, 5:49, 5:52, 5:48, 5:48, vpb, 5:48, 5:51, 5:48, 5:46, 5:45, 5:44, 5:44, 5:34

Total time of 1:26:51 for 15 miles.  Last time I did it in 1:23:02.

I was really tired after getting home and I took a 3 hour nap (third one since last Saturday).  I kind of crashed near the end of the run.  If I were in a marathon I would have hit a major wall.  Even though I wasn't pushing the pace during the run I think that my body ran out of fuel.  Hopefully I can fix this problem.
