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.

I took a day off work to focus on other things stressing me out- taxes, house chores, bills.

I considered going to a movie or something, but instead I ran a bunch and took a nap. My ankles are hurting quite a bit - probably from ramping up quickly, but that's a new one. On the positive side, I've lost 3-4 lbs in the last 1.5 weeks.

AM: 12 miles.

PM: 8 miles - picked up Elise from school. They have an awesome program two days a week called "Run Club" - the kids wear a pedometer and meander around a small infield track. I did two miles there, drove her home, then met Quint for another 6.

Nice Drew! Just keep those k-calories down. I've always found that 1200-1500 is a good number to shoot for when losing fat quickly while exercising. Don't underestimate what adding some sets of striders can do for your metabolism either.
