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: 6 miles. Last night my younger daughter got her turn with the stomach flu. My wife and I are getting the barf patrol down cold at least.

PM: 10 miles. Hot flashes and nausea heading to track, but I comforted myself with the thought that I was going to one of the few public places where it's acceptable to put your hands on your knees and barf your guts out.

Today was finally a full day of sun, 90 degrees/78 DP to start with a bit of cooling into the workout. Not one of my favorites today, but most of my teammates like it: 14 X 400 WITH STOP REST AFTER EACH. 1:30 REST BETWEEN ITEMS 1 & 2, 1:20 REST BETWEEN 2 & 3, 1:10 REST BETWEEN 3 & 4, 1:00 REST AFTER 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8, THEN CONTINUE DEDUCTING 10 SECONDS PER ITEM ENDING WITH :10 BETWEEN ITEMS 13 & 14.

No blazing splits today, but Hunter, Lee and I worked well together. My goals were to stick around 75 and not throw up, so I'll call it a success.

Hope the family recovers from the bug soon.

Great workout...I don't think I would have made it, awesome job!

Thanks Jeff - although I'll have to disagree with your self-assessment. I remember you running every morning in freezing darkness a few months back...
