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. |

15 miles this morning. I went to meet Solomon Bennett (the second place finisher from the race last Saturday) so that we could run mile repeats. However, there was some poor communication as far as where exactly we were going to meet, and by the time I got to where Solomon was at he had already run two of the three mile repeats he was doing. I ran the last repeat with him and the group he was with in 4:47 (it measured out to 0.96 on one kids garmin, so it was probably worth about 4:59). I then talked with him and his coach for a bit, and as Solomon was not feeling too good (tired) he decided to just run more in the evening, and I was now alone. I decided to run more mile repeats, but I was not too big a fan of the gravel trail the group was running them on, so I went over to the asphalt trail around Sunset park to run "mile" repeats on a section of the trail that is just a little longer than 1 mile (maybe about 1.05?). It was windy on the trail (vs. on gravel where the trees blocked the wind), so this loop felt fairly slow. Splits were 5:32, 5:17, 5:17 and I had recovery of 3:57, and 3:55 between repeats. I then ran a longer recovery (2.7 miles) before running one final repeat in 5:13. On the last repeat I focused on driving forward with my quads because I feel like either my quads are weak, or my ability to utilize the strength in them is undeveloped. I want to find out which is the case. PM: 5 miles in 38:55

| Easy run this morning, then drove to Long Beach for the American Society of Biomechanics national meeting, then ran 5 more miles after I got there. I seem to have gotten some sort of stomach bug, because I have had diarrhea all day long. |

| The travel, stomach bug, and bad sleep has really taken it out of me. I ran 10 miles today, skipped the second run, and cut my speed workout short. |

| 10 miles "easy" which ended up meaning about a 6:30 average (I pushed the pace a little more than normal because I just wanted to get the run finished with, and the lack of speed work yesterday has my legs feeling peppy, yet tired at the same time from being sick). Still feeling the effects of the constant diarrhea and resultant fatigue, as I feel that my body has not been absorbing any nutrients because everything is coming out so quickly. |

| Still feeling the effects of everything. Traveling certainly hasn't helped, as I have been super busy with this conference. Decided to not do a long run today, but still run a tempo run of sorts. I ran 10 miles, with a 7 mile tempo where I struggled to go much faster than 6:00 pace (although I did run about 0.75 in 5:12 pace) as my legs just felt drained. Total time of 1:01:28. |
