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 an easy 12 miles this morning at a relaxed 8:26 mile pace.  The tendon that runs along the arch of my right foot started feeling a little funny at the start of my last mile.  I stopped for just a few seconds and stretched it before continuing on.  I thought about walking the rest of the way home, but it was not a painful feeling just a funny feeling.  I guess the fact that I could feel it at all is what is funny.  I usually don't feel a thing down there.  It felt like it may have just tightened up a little bit and was pulling down towards the bottom of my foot with each toe off.  As soon as I finished the run and walked and stretched I felt it not at all.  I will stretch it and massage it today and then take my planned rest day tomorrow.  Hopefully it was just a fluke.

Bike: 15.19 miles.  Time: 57:26

Run: 6 (pushing Ty in stroller) Time: 48:43

I'm calling my workout today a baby brick since I took Ty along for the final 6 miles.  He enjoyed himself up until around mile three when he fell asleep.  I enjoyed the extra challenge of pushing him in the stroller for the first time.

I ran a tempo run this morning pushing Ty in the jogging stroller.  My peak pace, which came about 2/3 into the run was about 7:00 minute miles which I sustained for about one minute ten seconds.  My average pace was 8:03.

Brick Run: 3.01 miles in 22:09 at a 7:22 pace.

I felt pretty good today on my ride.  The run felt a little bit tough, but I kept up a pretty good pace for having just come off the bike.

I ran an easy six this morning in 48:33 at an 8:03 pace.  I was mostly looking to build volume with the workout today.  I usually take Saturday to rest, but I'm going to work towards building up to 10 miles a day six days a week.
