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.

Long run.  Beautiful and freakishly cool 64 degrees with nice cool north wind.  

I took the last week off to reset and renew.   I should have run a short easy run yesterday before trying to go long today.  My knees were killing me by ten miles in.  Perhaps trying to run 18 was a bit over ambitious.  I called Alisha to come pick me up just over 14 miles.  I feel good though.  If I'd suffered out those last four miles I probably would have risked injuring myself at worst and at best would not have gotten quality miles in.
