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 in a light rain.

PM - 8 miles at the St. Pete College track on a dark, rainy evening. Still not feeling well. Joined Jim and Kiera for 4 miles repeats beween 6-6:15. Considering getting tested for mono, but the more likely clinical diagnosis is holiday doldrums.

AM - 10 miles. Overcast. Yesterday's rain blew off some of the humidity. On the way out, there were dolphins swimming in the bay. Ran into Richie and Steve on the way back, so I tacked on a little extra to catch up with them. Nice run.

PM - 8 miles at lunch with Quint.

AM: 6 miles. Family run to Northshore Park. Usual routine pushing the jogging stroller, then running around on the grass with the girls. We look a little nuts, but the shoe fits.

AM: 6 miles to Northshore with the girls.

PM: 5 miles, with 1 @ 5:29. I was hoping for 3 @ 5:27, so I can't say the run was a success. But it wasn't a complete fail either. This is the first fast running I've done in two weeks, and I haven't felt sharp a single time in that period. Also, 84 F, 70 dew point.

Justifications aside, I have 7 weeks to Gasparilla 15k, where I'm hoping to run 9.3 miles at 5:27. So I have my work cut out.

On the wholly positive side, I ran the last part with Elise on her bike. She is almost ready to lose the training wheels.
