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.

Typical Sunday with a lot of moving parts. I bartered away my Sunday run to race yesterday, so while Allison was out on the Pinellas Trail I took the girls out to run around and get donuts. Then I met up with Quint for 10 miles downtown in the late morning. Straight to a friend's daughter's birthday at a nature preserve, then home for the usual chores. Squeezed in 3 miles with Elise on her bike before dinner.
I can get tunnel vision when I'm training for a goal race. Today was a good recovery day, and a good time to remember the other moments that make running meaningful - being outside and active with my family, spending time with friends, and time alone too, when I can just unspool for an hour or so. It's about as close as I get to meditation.

PM: 6 miles at lunch with Quint, nice cloud cover and light rain.
I'm looking forward to watching classic movies with my daughters when they're ready. At 3 & 6, they haven't seen many yet, and my older daughter is sensitive, so it may be awhile.
This morning when running I was trying to come up with light movies- by that I mean stories that don't delve too heavily into romance or the threat of death. That's a tough list to assemble.
Last week I previewed the first 20 minutes of Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and it was just as nuts as I remembered. Although I think it does fit the above-state criteria, the pace seems to go back and forth over the line between madcap fun and unhinged insanity pretty freely.
There must have been some event yesterday in Straub Park downtime, since the usually pristine grass was covered with trash. Also, I felt creeped out by the sound of squirrel claws on oak tree bark...I guess my nerves are still a bit jangled.

I had a good run in the morning. I've had a lot of crazy thoughts since Saturday - thoughts of cramming in more races and white-knuckle workouts into the next month, bad ideas all.
This morning I decided to take this week easy. I've put in a lot of good training lately, and I'll be fine for the 15k next Saturday.
Evening track with Lee and Steve. All of us raced on Saturday and wanted to keep it easy, so we ran a couple 800s, 1200s and mile repeats at 6:00 pace.

| AM: 12 miles. I met up with several friends at Northshore Pool, most were out for an easy run. I joined Mike G and Christina for a 6 mile tempo that came in right at 40 minutes. Both are running Boston and rounding into very solid shape.
PM: 7 miles. Met up with Quint for a lunch run. After a couple days of singles and lower mileage, I was feeling snappy.

| Everyone in the family ran but me today. Allison did her long run, and when she got back we took the kids to Tampa for a race organized for 2-10 year olds. It's a neat event, broken into many waves by age, even month of birth. The kids get race numbers, and the experience of starting a race, but there is no clock or pressure.
Afterwards we spent the afternoon in Temple Terrace with family. A nice day, just no running.
