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 this morning in 1:19:08.  Average HR of about 135-136.  I'm not sure why my HR seems to be getting higher, as I was hitting about 134 bpm at 8:00 pace, whereas most days last week I was hitting 130-132 bpm at 8:00 pace.

We took the kids to a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.  Here is a picture of Shayon while on the hay ride.

Here is a picture of Kamran after bathtime last week.  That boy always wants to have a pacifier in his mouth.

I ran 10 miles this morning in just under 1:19:00.  Average HR of 133.  I felt pretty stiff this morning when I woke up, but otherwise I felt decent.  My back and leg felt decent while running as well.  I could feel where the pain has been in my quad while I was running, but it was not painful.  My leg felt more like it was just letting me know that it is not one hundred percent better, not that anything is wrong.

I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:17:57, with an average HR of 131.  I felt pretty good while running today, although I felt stiff when I woke up, which lasted for the first half mile or so of the run, and my back tightened up a little bit with about 2 miles to go, lasting for about a mile or so.

I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:19:16, with an average HR of 132.  I was feeling antsy today because I wanted to run fast, but I was afraid that running hard 1 time would either wipe me out for the next week, or agravate my leg and/or my back.

I ran 12 miles today in 1:27:04. I made it to 10 miles in 1:15:43, and then ran the last 2 miles in 11:21 (5:57, 5:24). Average HR for the run was 141. HR got as high as 179 during the last 2 miles as I was running up a hill with a 10 percent grade at the end of the first mile/beginning of the second. I actually forgot to start running hard at the beginning of the final 2 miles, which is why that mile was so slow. I was on pace for a 5:44 after the first half mile, so forgetting to start fast may have cost me about 13 seconds
