Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

AM: 5 miles.

PM: 8 miles at track. A very stressful day - back to school madness, client meltdowns and car repairs. By the time I got to track I was mentally shredded. If it wasn't for the people out there, I would have probably bagged it.

Workout: 1 X 1 MILE, 400 REST, 1 X 1200, 400 REST, 800 WITH 200 REST 800 WITH 400     REST, 4 X 400 WITH 200 REST

It was brutally hot, so we decided to focus on solid effort and consistent pacing. Mike did most of the work, with Hunter leading the charge on the mile & 1200. Splits:

Mile: 5:18.7
1200: 3:56.8
800s: 2:37.1, 2:33.8
400s: 1:17.3, 1:18.6, 1:15.9, 1:12.2

I'll take it.
