Sub 2:19:00 marathon 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 slept really well last night. I am in California for the next two weeks and I was so tired last night that I crashed at about 9:00 and only got up at 6:00 this morning because Kimia was so excited to be in California that she woke me up.

| I am still somewhat sore after the half marathon on Saturday. My legs were really screaming at me those last 2 miles. I am surprised that I didn't have a bigger slowdown than I did considering how bad I felt. Anyhow, I ran 11 miles alone, and then 1 with Kimia in a total time of 1:39:50 for 12 miles. I started off really slow considering I am at sea level, and then sped up later on. The soreness slowly worked itself out while I was running. | | Add Comment |

| I ran 12 miles easy in 1:32:33. My legs are not feeling so sore anymore as much as they are feeling tired. I think it should just take a little longer to recover from the half marathon last Saturday. About an hour after I got back I ran 1 miles with Kimia | | Add Comment |

| My legs are feeling a lot better today. I don't feel so tired, however, I woke up this morning and my groin was tight and sore. Who knows why, its not like I have done much the last couple of days. I did help my father in law put a laminate floor in an apartment he is making out of his old workshop but if anything that should have made my knees sore. Oh, well. My run took me 1:32:05 and I ran 12 miles.

| I took things really easy today as I made an effort to go slower. I have noticed that it is easier to speed up at sea level if I am not paying attention. So, I took it slower today, but due to speeding up later on the overall time I spent running is only about a minute less than yesterday. 1:33:06 for 12 miles. I also went to the park with my nephew and niece this afternoon and ran around with them for a couple hours playing in the sprinklers and going down slides. It was fun. | | Comments(2) |

| I found a trail that runs alongside a creek in San Jose and I ran along that today. It is similar to the Provo river trail, except that it is not as long, has more rolling hills, and due to the fact that it is inside a city of about a million people it is packed with walkers and bikers. Overall, however I can't say it was too bad. I wanted to get done sooner, and I didn't want to be running for over two and a half hours, so I took the pace a little more aggressively than I have been. I went out in 1:06:20 for 10 miles and I finished in 1:03:17 for a total time of 1:09:37 for 20 miles. On the way back I also started chasing an old man on a bike for about a mile, and I put in 1 mile in about 5:50. Other than that I was sitting around 6:20 pace for the majority of my run.

| I am not used to running the day after a long run, so todays run felt odd. My legs just felt kind of drained for the first few minutes. The pace was not an issue, I just felt like it should be my day off since I normally do long runs on Saturday and then take Sundays off. Anyhow, I cut my run short by a mile because I didn't feel right and I finished 11 miles in 1:22:45. | | Add Comment |
