??? 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: 13.5 miles. Met the Sunday run group late to get a little extra rest. The rumors are true, our long-lost training Sean has returned from injury. He's a great guy & runner, and it was good to see him back. I'm feeling pretty well overall since Friday, but drained. Once we turned into Brightwaters, Mike and Sean turned on the jets and I stayed back with Christina, who was still running much faster than I would have preferred.
At home, I brainstormed with the girls - what to do for Labor Day? Elise suggested making pumpkin pie - not traditional, but anything involving food sounds good to me nowadays. We headed to the store with a long list of ingredients - a lot of our old spices got tossed in the move. We bought everything but cardamom - I couldn't justify $10 for a 1/4 teaspoon of that. Compared to homemade ice cream, the sugar is manageable, but you are looking at a solid cup and a half of heavy cream.
PM: 3.5 miles with Elise on her bike before the daily thunderstorm rolled in.

| AM: 8 miles, another easy bridge run. This time with Quint on the Pinellas Bayway.
PM: 4 miles at night after putting the girls down. I really don't like running after dinner, but this was the only time left. Beautiful evening pretty much made up for a gut full of potato salad and pumpkin pie. Strides.

| AM: 5 miles on the TM, easy, some incline running from 1-5.
PM: 9 miles. Went out to track, said hello to the group, then headed north on the Pinellas Trail. In a certain section a bit north of 22nd St. you run into two overpasses within one mile, so I did 2 x 2 miles at MP on that section. I'd head out for a mile, then return- so I ended up with 8 overpasses total.
Splits for both repeats were 11:46, ~5:53 per mile avg, with a 5 minute standing rest. I felt pretty good on the inclines. Initially I was thinking more like 6 miles, but the conditions were bad - 88 F / 79 DP with no shade on the ramps - it felt like the beating from the conditions would take more than conditioning would give beyond what I ran today.
Another minor hill workout of some kind, probably Thurs, then I am going to re-attempt 10 MP+1 / 10 MP on Sunday. Actually, I'm not going to re-attempt the workout, I'm going to crush it. :P
Yeah, it's just a mental gimmick, but you gotta pull whatever you can at this stage.

| AM: 8.5 miles on Pinellas Bayway. Ran 8 bridge repeats at steady effort on the climbs, recovered on the descents. My average pace on the climbs was ~6:05. Ideally, I'd love to hit 5:55 for every mile at Twin Cities, but realistically if I could hold onto 6:05 up Summit Ave I'd be pretty happy.
PM: 5.5 miles.

| AM: 12 miles. I usually have no trouble sleeping, but accumulated work stress caught up with me last night and I tossed and turned most of the night. I previously committed to helping Christina with her workout today, so that kept me honest. Or sleep-deprived, depending on how you look at it. 2 miles warmup, then 10 miles steady @ 6:56 pace.
PM: 6 miles at lunch with Quint, who was also exhausted, in late from Atlanta. We haven't had a chance to catch up much in the last couple weeks due to logistics, so the run actually flew by.

| AM: 6 miles easy on Miesner Bridge. Heavy air with light rain gave way to a steady downpour, patches of cold air and lightning blowing through.
PM: 6 miles, two with Elise on her bike.
