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 10.1 miles with Sasha in about 1:14-1:15.  Nothing special happened

Sasha and I ran 10 x 1 minute hard, 1 minute easy during the second half of our run today.  I think that we were hitting about 5:00 pace during the hard sections, so I will count it as 2 miles hard.  Total time for the run was about 1:11.

I ran 10.1 miles with Sasha this morning.  Not sure on the time, but I think that it was in the 1:12-1:14 range.

PM:  I ran 5 miles alone in just over 39:00.  I was only planning on running 4 miles, but I was having fun so I ran a little farther, only turning around when I did because I didn't want to overdo it.

I ran a 2.5 mile tempo of sorts with Sasha this morning.  We didn't push the pace much at all as we were just trying to keep the pace around 5:50.  Total time for the tempo ended up around 14:27.  Both of us felt a little more tired this morning than we normally do.

Sasha and I ran 1 mile a little quicker than the others in 5:42 this morning in order to see if the staleness we felt in our legs yesterday was just a one day thing.  Things felt much better today, so that was good.  We finished our run in the 1:14 range.

PM:  I ran 4 miles alone in a little over 29:00.  I felt good, but my foot was bothering me a little as it has been since about a week before St. George.

I ran 10.1 miles this morning with Ted in 1:07:08, followed by 4 miles with Sasha in 31:53, and then 4 more miles alone in 26:09 for a total time of 2:05:10 for 18.1 miles.  The whole run felt fairly easy, but I felt a little tired today, probably due to the double that I ran yesterday.  This is the longest run that I have done since I ran St. George, so I am glad to be finally getting back into the swing of things.  The mileage this week is finally getting back into a more normal range as well.  Hopefully I can get the mileage into the mid 80's and maybe even the low 90's before the end of the year.
