Personal: Married, with 1 daughter
IT Analyst/Programmer for 20 years. Also, an avid gardner with a small retail nursery on the side.
I've been a runner most of my life. I started running in 5th grade when the high school coach started a "run for fun" program at all the grade schools in the school district. Also, growing up my neighbor, who was about 8 years older than me, was a superstar in high school with a 4:15 1600m in the early 80s. So I had some good role models.
Most important, I love the Lord, and serve Him in my church and in Bible Study Fellowship, which is an international Bible Study open to people of all church backgrounds (i.e. interdenominational). If you are looking for a phenomenal way to study the Bible and draw closer to God this is the study for you. Check out BSFInternational.org to find a class near you. They are all over the place!

1 mile in 8 minutes
Groin was somewhat better after another couple weeks off. It was sore for the next couple days, but not too bad. | |

A little sore at the beginning of the run in the abdomen, but overall not too bad. We'll see how it goes over the next day or two

Feeling better. The last mile I slowed up a bit because of my abdomen, and it helped to feel better. I was also getting tired, and ended up just a bit sore the next day.

I felt pretty good throughout, except the first minute or so when my abdomen was a little sore and tight.
I felt good the rest of the day, too, but the following day was rather sore again.

I felt more sore today, throughout the run. It wasn't much fun, and I was sore the rest of the day, and the next day as well.

My stomach was still sore from yesterday. The e-train did hurt my abdomen a little bit, though not as much as running. | |

This was my best day yet. I've been feeling a little better each day since my bad day on Monday. Very little discomfort in the abdomen, just at the beginning. I pushed a little faster on the uphill first mile.

| SEJ-5 Mile Gas Loop - 5 miles in 37:48
I felt good today. My abdomen was a little sore again today - worse than Friday, but much better than last Monday. I'm not sure if it is the two days off, or being at home, or other activities that are causing the Monday problem. The weather was nice, sunny, mid-50s. This was one of the fastest times I've run this course. I didn't intend it to be a tempo run or mp run, but it definitely felt harder than I really ought to have gone.

Improving from yesterday, but still pretty dang sore in my abdomen. I'm cutting the run to 3 miles as a result.
