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.  18 miles.  First 4 with Kevin.  This weather is AWESOME!  It was 64 degrees.  It almost feels like fall.  

I had a really good run.  I ran the first half between 8 and 8:30 pace and the last 6 under an 8:00 minute pace.  I'm feeling strong.

9 continuous with 5 very uneven tempo splits.  2 to warm up followed by these five: 6:35, 6:45, 6:54, 7:00, 7:12.  Two to cool down.  The last few tempo miles were uphill.

MLR - 12.  I ran in my Brooks Ravenna 2's that have almost 700 miles on them.  I've decided that is my favorite shoe.  It's amazing how light it is and how good it still feels even after 600 miles.  

8:04 AP today.  67 degrees.  I feel strong this week.  I should be in good shape for my pace run on Sunday.
