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 with Sasha and Daniel this morning. We went out to the 8 mile turnaround and then started back until we got to the start of the 5 mile tempo. At this point we turned around again and said goodbye to Daniel. During all of this we were testing my heart rate with a new toy that Sasha got from the Ogden marathon, so there were a couple of pickups (sprints) in the middle that amounted to about 200m I estimate. My heart rate shot up to almost 160 during/after these pickups and was hovering around 130-135 while we were running slow (approx. 7:50 pace). We picked up the pace to about 7:00 on our way to the start of the 5 mile tempo and my heart rate was at about 150. We then did 1 mile in 5:50 with an average heart rate for me of about 171-172. After we turned around we did one mile in 4:58 with a max heart rate for me of 187. I am not sure what the average was. We estimate that this is close to my overall max heart rate. We then slowed it back down before turning around 1 more time at the mid way mark of the 5 mile tempo in order to head back to Sasha's house. Total time for 13 miles 1:39:09.
