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.

31 miles, 7:49 pace. It wasn't pretty, and it got me done.

AM: 0. I had my clothes arranged, coffee made, lunch made, but still slept through my window to go running. On the other hand, I was exhausted and sore from running more on Sunday than I ran all of the previous week.

PM: 9 miles at lunch with Quint with a guest appearance by Mike.

AM: 4 miles.

PM: 10 miles at track. I didn't do the workout, just trying to rebuild some base. It was a good group out there today, and it was inspiring to see everyone banging out descending 400s. I know I look like a loser just jogging in circles, but I'm plotting a return.

No running. Started work early and drove up to Jacksonville afterwards with the family.

16 miles. Woke up slowly and carried on the traditional trip to Panera with Mimi and the girls. Lots of grabbing, roiling and spilled hot chocolate. Around 9am Allison and I slipped out and ran 10.5 miles together. Dark clouds and some rain, but nice run. About half on the beach, trying to figure out how to raise our kids and what's up with Jon Snow. I dropped Allison off and went out for 5.5 more.

We were listening to the radio on the way to lunch and there's a guy in the Jacksonville area named Big Lou who advertises term life insurance. We heard a couple of his commericals, which target different high-risk pools. The one I liked was aimed at 50+ guys with Type 2 diabetes on statins. It ends with "I'm Big Lou - I'm just like you - I'm on meds too".
