??? Chicago Marathon ??? Long-Term Running Goals: 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: 18 miles, 6:46 average. An awesome and varied group for the the long run this morning. Splits all over the board, with a few in our group picking up their training for Boston. I ran one mile a little under 5:15 to touch in on 10k pace.
Today was one of those (rare for me) mornings when running at any pace felt easy, great even. Afterwards I had a huge rush of positivity. Eventually the adrenaline died down and I realized my legs are feeling a little thrashed, but not in a bad way.

| AM: 4 miles.
PM: 10 miles at track. Workout for tonight: MILE, 800, 400, 200, EACH WITH 200 REST, 2 SETS WITH 400 REST BETWEEN THE SETS
This is similar to the descending ladder from a couple weeks ago, but with shorter rest and more variation in distances. I felt solid tonight, though I still am not running my 800s as well as I should. The 400 & 200s felt like a full-effort, but without overly straining.
In the last three weeks there has been incremental but noticeable progress. Splits:
- 4:59, 2:28, 1:11, :33
- 4:58, 2:28, 1:10, :32
Recoveries were 9:30-10:00 pace.

| AM: 8.5 miles. It isn't pretty, but to quote DDL in There Will Be Blood, "I have a competition in me."
This morning, on a recovery jog, I felt compelled to run down a good-sized group ahead of me- not a high school team, or a rival track club, but one of those Couch->5k programs, out enjoying their morning. Ug. I've always wanted to be a Zen master, but I'm so clearly not cut out for it.
PM: 5.5 miles at lunch with Quint.

| AM: 9 very early morning miles. We're taking the kids to Disney on Sunday, so after protracted negotiations, I moved my long run to Saturday, and Allison moved her Sat. morning run to this morning. Since I'm taking Sunday off, and next week will be light, I didn't really want to skip another run today, so I was up today before 4.
The world is really beautiful and still at that time of day, but I found myself in an emo state of mind, with ghosts and concerns dancing around my head. I don't think I'll make these super early mornings a habit.
PM: 5 miles at lunch with Quint.

| AM: 20 miles, moved up from tomorrow to today. Quint, Christina and Lee joined me for a run up the Pinellas Trail and back. This was a good change from the usual downtown St. Pete loop, especially for Q&C who are training for Boston. On the trail we ended up with 12 overpasses for about 350 ft of elevation gain. That probably sounds ridiculous for 20 miles, but I'm lucky to gain 30 feet in my normal long run. Avg pace 7:08.
