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.

felt somewhat sick today.  I figure that is why I was tired during the race yesterday.  I was feeling a little better later on in the evening.

I ran 10 miles with Sasha this morning in 1:14:53.  I still feel a little icky, but I feel better than yesterday.

I felt steadily worse all day today.  I didn't feel too bad in the morning, but by the time I got off work in the afternoon and ran home I felt like garbage.  I ran 3 miles home from work, and then 3 more miles after I got back.  Total time was 47:35.

I ran 10.1 miles with Sasha this morning.  I felt really gross and I kept asking him to slow down.  We finished in 1:23:59.  I went to a doctor later on in the afternoon, and I found out that I have the H1N1 virus, so fun times.  I slept for a good portion of the afternoon.

No running today.  I felt good enough that I could have run 4-6 miles in the evening, but I decided to play it safe and take a day off to make sure that I recover completely from the swine flu.

I felt great today.  I ran 8 miles in the evening in 59:13.  I felt like I had some extra juice in my legs today.  Probably because I didn't run yesterday.  Everything should be back to normal now.  We will see next week when I do a speed session or two.

I ran 10 miles with Sasha, finishing in 1:14:43.  I felt good, but I still am getting up some of the residual junk that is stuck in my throat.
