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.

Kevin and I ran 1 hour 45 minutes today.  I feel really good considering that I had to take a 2 minute 10 second bathroom break during mile 11.  Even with the break I almost caught up to Kevin before the end.  I convinced I would have caught him if I'd had a little more distance.  If you take out the stop my average moving pace was 7:42 per mile.  For a long run of this distance I feel pretty good about that.  The Post Oak Lodge Trail run is one week from today.

Kevin and I ran Turkey Mountain today in beautiful sunny 50 degree weather.  The Post Oak Trail run is this Sunday.  I'm looking at a thirty minute tempo run tomorrow and a five minute easy run on  Friday.

I ran a thirty minute tempo run today.  My calves felt pretty sore from yesterdays trail run and weights workout.  I'm now going to rest tomorrow, run an easy five miles on Friday, and then rest the day before the race.

Easy five this morning at 36 degrees with a wind chill of 29.  I actually felt I was dressed a little too warm.  This was my last run before the Post Oak Trail run on Sunday morning.  I picked up my race packet yesterday and bought a new pair of Brooks Cascadia trail shoes.  I may be risking it a little in using brand new shoes in a race.  Ideally I would have bought taken them for a spin this morning, but it would have been too inconvenient to drive out to Turkey Mountain at the last minute.  I think I will take them Sunday morning and do some warm up jogs, but I will take my backup pair just in case.
