Find balance. Run with my girls. Break 15 in the 5k.
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: 7 miles. Standard 5-day out tuneup. 1 warmup, 5 miles MP (29:32, 5:55 avg), 1 cooldown. Felt pretty easy, and taper kicking in.
Light rain and humid, tail end of summer running. I'm ready to run this race and turn the page.

FYI...did you see the story about the protest group planning on keeping runners from finishing TCM? Hope the group, event coordinators and police can work this out!

Apparently Black Lives Matter is trying to get the attention of "white America". I guess there's nothing whiter than the Twin Cities Marathon.

I did hear mention of some shenanigans, although I just filed it in the mental compartment with the Ebola outbreak, the Y2K bug and every approaching hurricane season. I can be pretty naive though, so we'll see.
I was also just imagining the logistics and coming up short. Last year there were about 50 people running 10 mph or faster at mile 25. Hard to imagine anyone wants to spend a cold Sunday morning getting slammed into by sweaty, boney people like that.

That's a fine tuneup!
Hopefully things go fine at the finish. It wouldn't be my first target but I'm a white male with plenty to fall back on (mom just paid a bill for me. Thanks, mom!) so what do I know.
I'm trying to see about tracking. Word on the street is you're classified as a professional. I think that means you're fast.
