Personal:

I'm married to a very supportive, although slightly less enthusiastic runner than I.  Alisha has run a little with me and participated in several 5k's, but mostly she supports me at races.  She ran her first half in November, 2011.  We have a son who was born in 2010, the year that I ran my first marathon.  I participated in my first Triathlon in April 2011.  I think I may have been bitten by the Ironman bug.  Though an Ironman finish is a long term goal, I want to BQ first. 

I find that the more I run the more I want to run.  I consider my self a running addict.  I like the motto: pain is weakness leaving your body.

I ran 18 miles today in 32 degree temperature with 18 mph winds.  I was running into the wind for the first 9 miles, and running with the wind at my back more or less for the last 9. 

First 9 took 1h 21m 20s.  Last 9 took 1h 21m 12s.  

My legs feel very fatigued, but no more than at the end of my 16 mile run 1 week ago.  I am beginning to see first hand the result of building up high mileage gradually.

I ran 6 miles tonight.  The mid forties temperature tonight was nice.  It is a lot warmer than the low thirties I have experienced for the last several weeks.  

I ran 1 warm up mile, followed by 4 fast miles, then a cool down mile.  

Splits: 8:50, 6:56, 7:08, 6:50, 6:46, 8:02.
