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: 12 miles of running back and forth over the newly renovated Pinellas Bayway bridge. Yes, I am jealous of people who live in geographical regions containing changes in elevation.

PM: 9 miles at lunch with Quint and Josh. Feeling goofy.

My neighborhood isn't as hilly as some places in the US, but it is much hillier than Indiana where I started running (though it too has hills if you look for them). At first it drove me crazy, but now I like the hills. I have a good sized one coming back from the tempo loop.

That said I wish I did have some flat, longer loops for recovery. I split the difference running a lot on hard-packed dirt.

I hear you, Jason. I never thought of that, but having a lot of hills does make things hard when all you want to do is recover.

100 miles by Thursday. Wow.

Jon - big week, but kind of an anomaly. Hopefully in a month or so I can translate some of the miles into faster running.
