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 today.  I finished 10 miles in 1:16:xx.  I am still sore from Saturday, which makes me think that I may have pushed it a little too much at the end of a long week.  As it is, I was planning on making this week easy, so things should be fine.

10 miles this morning in 1:14:38.  I kept the pace easy, but the soreness is still kind of there.  I feel more stiff than anything.

PM: 5 more miles in the evening in 37:48.

10 miles this morning in 1:16:25.  It has been humid lately, and it is interesting comparing the humidity to the hot dry weather we usually have.  It seems to me that humidity makes it feel about 10 degrees hotter than it really is.  It also makes it feel hotter than normal in the morning, but the heat is more manageable in the afternoon than it normally is.

10 miles this morning at school on the treadmill.  I ran 3 miles in about 17:30 in the middle of the run to get a feel for how my left calf is doing.  It is still feeling pretty tight.

 PM: 5 miles in 39:07.

Nice easy run this morning.  I ran 10 miles, finishing in 1:17:xx.  I massaged my left calf out for a couple minutes this morning, and it felt much better than it has felt previously.

PM: No more running for me today, as I am now the proud daddy of a little boy!  Shayon Ray McClellan was born at 7:43pm, weighing 7 lb 2 oz, and 20 inches in length.  Kimia and the little one are both doing great!

I was at the hospital from last night until around 8:30pm tonight helping Kimia, and helping take care of the baby.  By the time we got situated at home it was after 10:30pm, so I just ended up not running today.  Not what I had planned, but this was an easy week anyhow, and there are some things that take priority over running.
