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. |

| My leg was pretty sore yesterday, so I worked it out for a while and it felt a lot better this morning. Just to be safe I decided to cut todays run a little shorter. I took it pretty easy for the most part and finished in 1:18:00 for 10 miles. | | Add Comment |

| I felt like the horses wanted out of the barn today, but I tried without success to keep the pace slower for most of the run. Finally I gave up when 2 kids on bikes passed by me, and I spent a half mile running them down and then leaving them in the dust. I finished 10 miles in 1:12:46 followed by one more mile with Kimia. My leg has been bothering me more and more. I think that I am going to keep the mileage at about 10 a day for the next while and hopefully the leg gets better.

| I ran 10 miles easy in 1:18:04. Nothing spectacular to report. | | Add Comment |

| 10 miles in 1:20:06. I ran about half of this run on grass. I wanted to see if the leg would feel better if I stayed on grass and it actually felt pretty good. I will probably try this again tomorrow and see if the improvement continues. I have been massaging the leg fairly consistently, as well as taking anti-inflammitory drugs and icing. It doesn't really hurt, but it feels similar to how my leg felt last summer before I developed a stress fracture and I do not want that.

| I ran on the grass again today. My leg felt fine except for some tightness at the beginning of the run as I was just warming up, and at the end of the run as I sped up a bit. I probably went farther than 10 miles both yesterday and today, but not by much. Total time 1:19:49

| I ran on the grass again for about half of my run. Total time 1:19:52 for 10 miles. Like every day recently, I feel relatively nothing out of the ordinary while I am running, but after I finish I feel like there is a tightness in my leg, almost like an achy feeling. At least it feels like it is getting better as I have backed off recently. Hopefully that trend continues.
