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 in the evening.  Kept the mileage lower today because of my hips being out of alignment, and trying to fix everything there

Ran in the evening again.  No problems, but as far as I can tell my hips are still off by a lot.

Easy run with Sasha in the morning.  Did some stuff to try and get my hips better aligned in the evening.

This morning I felt like I had been hit by a truck.  The exercises I did yesterday to align my hips left me really sore this morning, my plantar fascia was hurting a little more than it has the previous few days, and my calves and shins felt really painful as I have been running almost exclusively on my forefoot to minimize pain with the plantar fascia.  I only ran 5 miles in the evening because of it all.

I ran with Sasha and Steve this morning.  We kept the pace easy for the most part, but we did run 1 mile in 5:24 to test Sasha's sense of pace, and consistency while running blind.  The sense of pace was off, but the splits were fairly consistent.  Total of 15.3 miles in 1:51:XX.
