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 met up with both Shane and Kevin this morning for an easy ten that turned into an easy 11 since Shane thought we were meeting at Aspen instead of Elm. 

8:19 AP.  43 degrees.  

I'm getting anxious to try some tempo runs, but I know I should probably hold back for a couple more weeks.

Recovery run of 6 at a 7:56 AP.  32 degrees.  

I'm feeling good this morning, but I really need to get a new pair of shoes.  I think I've pushed my 1260's to the limit.  I'd like to get a little more life out of them, but I think there were just a few too many runs earlier this year that it poured rain on me and soaked them to the core.

General aerobic run.  7:45 AP. 37 degrees.  Average heart rate 152.  

I'm feeling really good and strong.  I need to look back at my tempo runs over the previous cycle so I can start planning my improved tempo runs for Oklahoma City training.

General aerobic run this morning, but in reality run at a bit of a faster pace than that.  I couldn't help it because it was so cold.  22 degrees. 7:38 AP.  

My heart rate monitor was not detected by my Garmin, but I did not realize this until I got back so I don't know what my heart rate was.

Recovery run at 8:06 AP.  26 degrees.

It was a nice cool morning.  I have a hard time running at a slow enough pace to actually stay within true recovery pace when it is this cold.  I just want to start out flying the first few miles to get warmed up.  I have to keep making myself slow down.
