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!

| 6.26 miles around DeVry loop in 49:52 (7:58/mile)
I discovered a short trail just past DeVry when I was looking to add on some mileage. I just wanted to get up to 6. Just a simple trail that runs behind some corporate buildings, including World Vision, but one end of it goes out to a lake with a dock. I will def. add this on to the DeVry loop when I want to get in 6+ miles.

I ran a 2 mile warmup, then 3 miles that was supposed to be around 7:20 pace on the perimeter road, then a mile cool down.

| 9 miles on Military Road in 1:10:51 (7:52/mile)
Started out OK, but felt sluggish most of the run. Finally in the last mile I decided I had enough of the slow pace. Was going to stop at 8, but ended up adding on the extra out of frustration.
My weight is the highest it's been in a long time. 190.

| 4 miles around North Lake in 30:36 (7:39/mile)
I'm getting tired of being out of shape, of slow sluggish runs and being a wimp. My weight is 190 still, I can't even do 1 pull up and I'm only running 3-4 days a week with low-20's mileage with a pace around 8 min/mile. Time to kick myself in the behind and get more serious!

| 10.86 miles to end of Interurban trail and back in 1:28 (8:06/mile)
First half of the run went great. Second half crashed and burned. I stopped at 10.86, just couldn't make myself go any further. I wanted to stop at 10, though, so rather than focus on the .14 I didn't run I'll focus on the extra .86 I did run.

Felt much better today than on Tuesday, though the pace doesn't really show it. Cool today, too. Cloudy and around 70.
