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!

| SEJ-5 Mile Gas Loop - 5 miles in 40:10
My abdomen was a little sore today, but not too bad. The run felt fair overall. Howver, I was sore by evening and pretty sore the next day. I tried to take it easier than last week's 5 miler, but it didn't help as much as I'd hoped.

Military Road route - 3 miles in 25:30
I decided to run again, for the 2nd day in a row, because my abdomen wasn't feeling too bad and the weather was nice, and the e-train was occupied. Both of my knees were pretty sore, causing me to run slower than usual. On the plus side this seemed to help my abdomen to not bother me so much on the run.

This is probably the best I've felt since I got injured. The last mile was a bit more painful, but the first 3 I felt really good, and afterwards I felt good, too.

Feeling pretty good today. It was sunny, warm (upper 50s-low 60s) and my abdomen was feeling just a little sore. I tried to keep the pace slower again, even though I felt more like running around 8/mile.

Feeling pretty good again today, just minor soreness while running, though still pretty sore to the touch. Sub 8/mile for once!
