Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

Ran a pretty good 12 miles w/ Jacki around Hawthorn Park, Rose-Hulman, through Woodridge through Deming Park and back.  Total time 1:32:56.  Legs a little tire from yesterday's race.  Achilles was a little tender from running in the snow and mud. Temp really cold 28 and breezy.

Ran a pretty decent 8.5 mile recovery run from the Y down Ohio St. through Deming Park and back in 1:01:39.  Average 7:20 pace most of the way with a couple miles down around 6:55 pace.  Had slight pain in right foot on the outside in the last half mile.  Temp cool 31 but tolerable.  Supposed to warm up this week.  Really want to try to do a track workout tomorrow.  Don't know if I'm recovered enough, but I'm looking at 8-10x800m on the track.  We'll see.  Did an easy 15 minutes on the Octane during lunch to loosen up.

Tonight, ran 10x800m w/ 400m jog recovery on the track w/ Aaron and Mike in pretty good times.  Aaron and Mike ran the first 6 with me, so it was tough to hold on to the last four, especially the last one.  Ran 2.25 mile warmup and 3.5 mile cooldown.  Temp warm 41 when we started, 34 once the sun went down.  Had a stiff 12 mph S breeze to deal with.  Times pretty decent (2:53,2:47,2:47,2:50,2:47,2:50,2:53,2:49,2:53,2:58!).  Really tough workout, but made it all the way through.

Ran a recovery 8.5 miles same course as Monday from the Y through Deming Park and back in 1:01:35.  Hit 7:20 pace pretty much the whole way.  Really warm 57 and a little breezy.  Legs really sore from yesterday's workout.  Also did 30 minutes easy on the Octane during lunch today.

Ran a really tough 2 miles tonight in town.  Temp really warm 58 and humid and windy.  Legs are completely dead.  Turned around at 1 mile and headed back.  Time for 2 miles was 15:57.  Did 30 minutes easy on the Octane during lunch.  Last 5 days really caught up to me today.

Ran the George Rogers Clark Trace Run for the first time in 3 years.  It's the 7th year I've run it.  Today, ran it in a pretty good 1:02:21.  Today's focus was going to be mental toughness.  Going into the race, I knew that we would have the tail wind for the first 5 miles, then once we looped back around, we would have 5 miles into a steady 16 mph NNE headwind.  Course was pretty flat except for a small climb right before 2 miles.  Pretty happy with this race as my 5 mile split was just a little bit slower than last week's 5 mile race.  Could've easily gone a half marathon today.  Probably would have hit right at 1:22:00.  Not too bad w/ the conditions.  I went back and forth with this one guy from miles 6-9 as we picked off 3 runners, and then at 9 miles, I was done and he picked off one more.  Used my Garmin for the race and the mile markers were pretty much dead on.
