Get under 3 hours one more time... Personal: Grew up outside Chicago and joined the blog while I lived in Salt Lake City. Now living outside Birmingham. I am married with two daughters. Wife thinks I'm crazy for doing marathons. And yes I am crazy I'm a scientist for a living... |

| Shake out run after a long family day. Knee still complaining but that is not a surprise. I thought the toe running had completely gotten rid of that but I guess I was wrong. Avg. 8:12 HR 140

| Very busy work day. Ran into lab at 5:30am to get stuff set-up then home for PT conferences. The day was full with meetings as we had a visiting speaker. Did get both lunch and a very nice dinner out of the deal plus the face time with one of the world leaders of cardiac metabolism. Then back into lab until 11pm. Overall a good but very tiring day.
Commute in: Avg. 9:24 HR 141
Commute back: Avg. 7:08 HR 151 Obviously running downhill is better :)

| Finally caught up on some sleep. Then a lazy breakfast with the girls followed by two hours at the pool splashing and playing. The weather didn't hit until after we got home and although I like snow runs I opted for a quick run on the treadmill. 8pace down to 6:30pace increasing every .25-.5 mile. |
