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 had a good first run back after my planned two week break.  I had no plan for this run other than to run about 30 to 45 seconds slower than my usual long run pace and otherwise take easy.    

I made a mistake in my weights workout on Tuesday and squatted too much weight.  I must have mildly injured my right knee, because I have been feeling it for the past two days and it affected my run this morning.  I hope it heals up nicely as I begin building higher mileage off of my pre-break thirty plus mile weekly base.

I swam tonight in lieu of my run this morning since I believe my knee has been jarred a little bit.  I think I'll be good for an easy run tomorrow morning.  

I swam for half and hour.  I think it was baby seven or eight hundred meters.  Unfortunately my goggles snapped in half about ten minutes in to the workout.  Had it not been for a nice lady who overheard me telling someone about it in the next lane, I would have not been able to finish.  She loaned me hers for the rest of my workout since she was finished and going to sit in the hot tub for a while.

I ran for forty minutes easy this morning before sunrise.  My knee felt fine so I'm going to resume course and start building up my mileage before the start of Route 66 training in mid July.

I ran for thirty minutes this morning at a very easy 8:11 pace.  I'm going to be taking it easy all week.

I ran an easy thirty minute run this morning at a 7:46 pace.  I felt really good and I'm looking forward to my long run tomorrow.
