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!

Skipping exercises

2x2 min @ 1/2 marathon pace, recovery to 1/2 mile mark. I think I ran a little fast on these. I usually complete this exercise in about 7:15 on the track.

Workout - 3 sets of 1/4 mile@5k, 1/2 mile@10k, 1 1/4 mile@ marathon pace (with no rest between these), 1/2 mile jog between the sets

So different than when I did this workout two weeks ago. Then it was pouring down rain. Today it was sunny and cool (upper 50's). On the other hand, the last set was a little more difficult than expected. I'm sure that I am still fatigued from Saturday's long run and yesterday's strength workout, though.

SEJ-5 Mile loop - 5 miles in 37:44

Foothills trail run - 13.61 miles with Carl in 1:46:07 (7:48/mile)

It stayed dry for about 5 miles, then the rain started. On the second half it was fairly pouring. My upper quads were still tired and sore from the strength drills. The second half of the run was getting pretty difficult, even as we slowed to 7:50 then 8/mile. This was supposed to be a 13 mile run, but I wasn't paying attention at the halfway point and we ended up going out 6.8 miles instead of 6.5. On the last mile I decided to try picking up the pace to see how that felt with sore legs. I actually felt a lot better during that mile.
