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.

LR - 17 w/ 5 at marathon pace.  It was 50 degrees and an absolutely beautiful morning.  I can only hope that in two weeks on race morning I get so lucky with the weather.  I might just actually pull off my coveted BQ. 

My AP was 7:27.  I ran the last five at marathon pace:  7:03, 7:00, 7:02, 6:57, 6:55.  The first mile of the final five began with a pretty legitimate hill, which the locals know as the hill at Memorial.

Recovery - 4.  It was a bone chilling 24 degrees this morning.  I'm officially tapering for the Route 66 Marathon.  I love that this is a Wednesday morning and I only ran 4 miles.  Incredible!

VO2 Max: 8 w/ 3x1600's.  A very cold 27 feels like 19.  My average pace was 7:31.

I ran 3 to warm up, 3x1600's with 90 seconds of rest, with a littel less than 2 to cool down. 

1600's: 6:33, 6:29, 6:43
