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 9 miles today in 1:06:40.  I was not running super fast, but this is still one of the faster runs that I have done in the last few weeks.  I feel like I need to keep things slow for a while longer before adding in any speed work again.

I ran 6 miles today in the evening.  I was trying to figure out some issues with an assignment that is due on Friday, and I am too stubborn to give up and I ended up not having enough time to run very far because it was late.  On the plus side I did end up figuring out the problem

I ran 10 miles today, running 1.5 miles home from school and then running another 8.5 after I got home.  Total time was around 1:17:30.

10 miles easy in 1:19:05.  I actually forced myself out of bed in the morning.  I really need to get better with this.

I ran 10 miles today without looking at my watch for the entire 10 miles.  I was trying to guess how long it would take me to finish the run while I was out.  About halfway through I figured that I was on pace for about 1:19 mid, but I got lazy in the second half and really slowed down a bunch.  As I neared the house at the end of the run I told myself that I was probably going to finish around 1:21:00.  When I stopped the watch at the house I finally took a look at it and saw a final time of 1:21:03.  I was impressed that I was able to guess my final time so accurately.
