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.

It was warm (60 degrees) and a little windy this morning on the first day of Spring.  The moon last night and this morning was the closest it had been to the Earth in 18 years.  It was beautiful!  

We ran for 80 minutes at a 7:36 pace.  It felt really good to run that pace again.  I had not really run a long run at that pace since marathon training back in September or October.

Treadmill running today at the gym.  I ran 1 mile as a warm up and then 4 800's at a 6 mile pace or at 3:00 splits.  After I finished running I walked for about 2 or 3 minutes to cool down.  After that I swam for 25 minutes for a distance of 1,250 meters.  I am supposed to go riding later today for 45 minutes.  Tri all three sports in one day, Yipee!

Today I went to the gym to run 3 on the treadmill.  I went to the gym because I was also supposed to swim for 35 minutes.  When I got done running I got changed and went down to the pool.  This morning the pool had all four lanes full and there were people waiting.  I decided I did not want to wait around so I left to try again.  Maybe I'll go back tomorrow, which is supposed to be a rest day.

I ran 3 miles today after I rode for 15 miles on the bike.  Us Triathletes call that a brick run.  I'm calling myself a triathlete even though I haven't actually competed in a triathlon yet.  I am registered for a sprint distance tri event in April that I have been training for.  I figure I can go ahead and start calling my self a triathlete.
