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.

Easy run with Sasha today plus 8x100.  We ran out from my house and after 2.5 we ran 100 with no time after another 700m we ran another 100 in 15.6? followed by similar rest.  We then ran a 15.1 followed by a 14.7?  We then took a larger break of over 2 miles and then ran 2 more 100's in 15.1 and 14.9 approximately (I am just going off of memory for all of the times so they may not be accurate).  With about 2 miles left We decided to see how fast I could do a 100 all out.  Sasha started in front of me with my objective being to catch him and see how much I could gap him.  I ran the first 100 in 11.5 however I slowed down early because I was looking at the wrong mark.  So, we decided to nix that time and do it again.  I ran back to our mark and this time I ran the 100 from a standstill instead of giving myself a running start and I ran a 13.6 for the final 100.  This one could have been faster except I ran it with almost no break after the 100 before it and I was already over 9 miles into my run for the day so I started to fatigue near the end.  After this we ran back to my house to finish up.
