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 approximately 11 miles today in 1:31:41, with an average HR of 133. My normal route is blocked due to construction so I had to improvise a bit. I was lazy and did not leave to run until just before it got dark. I averaged right around 8:00 pace for the first 5 miles, but as soon as it got dark I immediately slowed down a fair amount because I didn't want to slip on ice on the road. I estimate that my HR averaged 135 at 8:00 pace, and about 131 at 8:30 pace. Still a little higher than previously, but more normal. I am starting to check humidity levels to see if higher humidity leads to lower HR. Today, humidity was above 70%.

| I ran while the car was in the shop today, so the route was improvised and distance was guessed rather roughly. I ran approximately 11 miles in 1:29:26, with an average HR of 138. Humidity was approximately 50%. There was a lot of wind today. Normally I run among trees, so the wind is mostly neutralized, but the run today was exposed and the wind was pretty strong at times, causing spikes on the HRM of 10-20 bpm when the wind was in my face.

| I ran 11 miles today, in 1:27:51, with an average HR of 137. Humidity was in the mid 50 percent range. My leg and back seem to be getting worse lately, which is frustrating. They had been getting better to the point that I stopped spending as much time on my back and ab exercises/stretches, etc. Now, they are getting worse again, and to top it off my right calf is acting up (I think due to overcompensating as a result of the left quad pain). At least I am still able to put the mileage in.

| I cut back on the mileage today, and only ran 8 miles as I haven't been feeling well.
