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 6 miles today in 46:xx.  I ran a few sprints during the run, but otherwise kept the effort easy.

6 miles in 48:00.  I actually had to speed up at the end just to catch the 8:00 guy.  I ran a few sprints again.  Part of why I ran so slow is because after each sprint I would slow down a lot, and I wasn't really speeding up later.  My legs felt kind of dead.  I guess that is what I get for letting myself get so out of shape.

6 miles today in 47:54.  No sprints today because I felt like I needed a break.

I ran 6 miles today in 45:10.  I ran 3 sprints again.  My legs felt more awake today since I didn't run the sprints yesterday.

I ran 6 miles today.  During the run I went over to the track and ran an all out 400, followed by 2 x 100m.  I could tell that my legs didn't feel 100% up for sprinting before I even started, but I was interested in seeing what I could do given the circumstances.  I ran the 400 in 63 seconds, followed by 13.8 for the first 100, and 14.2 for the second.  Results made me think that fresh I may have been able to run the 400 between 60-61 seconds, while running the 100 in the low 13 second range if I was fresh and didn't run a 400 first.

I ran 7 miles today.  I ran some sprints again, running 4 of them with 2 coming on uphill segments.  Total time of 53:46.  This is the first week in a while that I have run 6 times, and it felt good to get out the door more frequently.
