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 ran 10 miles today in 1:15:34. The original plan was to run 11+ miles, but I still feel a little sore after the race on Friday evening and the semi long run the next morning. My left ankle also started to act up about 7 miles into the run, so I slowed down the pace to about 7:45-50 for the last 3 miles. | |

| I felt much better today compared to yesterday. I ran with a couple guys on the club team, so the run was a little faster than normal. I was also late meeting them, so I got in some fast running right at the beginning. Later on in the run I ran 4 short sprints. I felt awkward and uncoordinated running the sprints... not quite sure what to make of it. Total time was 1:26:41 for about 12.5 miles. |

I ran a 5 mile tempo this morning on a 2 mile section of trail that has markers every quarter. The trail is rolling with a net downhill going out, and a net uphill coming back. Today there was some headwind going out so it negated any benefit from the downhill, and didn't really help on the uphill sections. My goal was to start out relatively relaxed at about 5:30 pace, progressively speeding up as I went. Everything pretty much went according to plan as I had half mile splits of 2:44, 2:45 (5:29), 2:41, 2:45 (5:26), 2:46, 2:40 (5:26), 2:42, 2:41 (5:23), 2:37, 2:31 (5:08). Total time was 26:52. Overall I am happy with the tempo. I was a little slower than I had planned on miles 3 and 4, but I ran mile 5 a fair amount faster than planned, so I was right about where I wanted to be. Total of 12 miles for the run in 1:18:53. In the afternoon I helped another student out with her research study and ended up running about 3.5 miles extra, all at 8:00 pace on the treadmill.

| I have been working on running early in the morning again, but today that did not happen. I ended up running home from school (about 1.25 miles) and then running an additional 10 miles later on in about 1:19. I felt somewhat sluggish today, which is not necessarily a bad thing considering that I have run more mileage this week and I ran a hard workout yesterday. | |

| 10 miles this morning in 1:16:50. I ran 7 short sprints this morning of about 10 seconds each, running all out. I had between 0.5 and 0.75 recovery between each one. | |

| I ran over 18 miles this morning, giving me my longest run of the entire year so far. I ran the first 14+ miles with Josh, another PhD student that I am in classes with. He frequently gets over 100 miles per week during the summer, but he doesn't do much speed work so he is not as developed when it comes to doing faster stuff. We kept the pace pretty brisk for most of the run, and while I am not sure exactly how far we went together there was a section where we may have gotten under 6:00 pace for a couple miles. At 1:36:00 we parted ways and I started a mini tempo for a few miles at the end of the run. I will give myself 14 miles up to that point, but based on Josh's estimations it was probably a bit longer than that. I ran 3 miles hard with splits of 5:40, 5:36, 5:30. I was surprised at how hard that pace felt. I was expecting to hit about that pace without even pushing, but I felt sluggish and I had to push harder than I wanted to. Because of how I felt I backed off and coasted in the last mile instead of running it hard, although I did pick it up again for a couple minutes as I neared my apartment. Total time of 2:00:28 for what I will call 18.25 miles. |
