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.

The plan for today was to cut back the mileage a bit as last Saturday's long run left me pretty tired the first half of this week.  I ended cutting the workout even shorter just to be safe because we had a fire in our oven and I didn't want to overstress myself.  Total of 6.75 miles in 49:30ish.
