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 8 miles with 6 800's.  I jogged for a quarter mile between each 800.  

The first one felt tough, the next three felt a lot easier, the fifth about killed me, and the sixth was not too bad.

Splits: 3:05, 3:01, 3:01, 3:05, 3:16, 3:05

My jogs in between looked like this: 2:10, 2:08, 2:08, 2:14, 2:18.

I felt good to get a workout in.  This was my first real good workout since OK City.

Easy 6. 52 degrees.  It was nice and cool this morning, which felt great since it has been so warm and humid these past few days.

General aerobic run.  7:52 AP.  I'm felt good despite being a little bit tired from not enough sleep.

Recovery run.  7:59 AP.  The temperature felt really nice out this morning at 59 degrees with a breeze.  I'm feeling like I have not had any time to devote to the blog lately.  I'm on vacation next week, so I will catch up with everything then.
