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 really tough 17 miles today in the heat of the day in 2:05:11.  Ran the first 8 w/ Jacki, first 11 in Hawthorn Park to avoid the heat.  Then ventured out toward Deming Park and back to Hawthorn.  Had only planned on running 14, but miscalculated.  Really struggled the last few miles.  Had to keep stopping because it was so hot.  Temp was 91 and sunny w/ HI of 96.  Stomach was still bothering me on occasion.

This evening, ran a pretty good 8 mile recovery run w/ Jacki from Meadows through 2 laps in Dobbs Park and back, 59:34.  Temp still pretty warm 86 and humid.  Legs really not too sore from yesterday.  Right foot a little tender, but that's all.  Going to try a workout tomorrow.

Tonight did one of the toughest workouts I've ever done.  5x600m-400m.  run 600m at 5:30 pace, 200m jog at 8:00 pace, then 400m at 5:30 pace, then 400m jog at 8:00 pace to make 1 mile total for each repeat.  Times weren't the fastest, but legs aren't the freshest (2:10,1:23,2:09,1:26,2:13,1:25,2:08,1:22,2:08,1:23).  Did 4 mile warmup at pretty effortless 7:00 pace, then 1 mile cooldown afterward.  Today during lunch, ran 3.25 miles from home up through Howard subdivision and back in a semiquick 22:16.  First mile in 7:10, last mile in 6:26.  Temp much cooler today, although still warm on the track, 78 and not as humid.

Tonight ran 3.5 miles w/ Jacki after work, but got called from work mid-run and had to go back in.  We were supposed to get in 12 tonight.  When I got home from work, had to wait for the storm to go through, but squeezed in a semiquick 6.5 miles down around Collet Park in between storms and felt really good despite speed work yesterday.  First mile was 7:43, but then dipped down to sub 7 the rest of the way w/ the last mile in 6:25.  Pink lightning gave way to blue lightning as darkness finally took hold.  Felt really good tonight in the rain.  Time 43:40.  Moved 12-14 miler to tomorrow night.

Ran a pretty good 12 miles w/ Jacki tonight in 1:29:46 starting at the church across from Lincolnshire, heading through Dobbs while it was still light out, then through Woodridge, Deming Park, Ohio Stree, Terra Vista, etc.  Ran in new shoes, so contributed to my feet being a little achy toward the end.  Otherwise, felt completely great.  RHR was 43 earlier in the day.  Temp really cool tonight, 74

This morning, ran 30 minute "random" fartlek workout w/ Jacki w/ intervals ranging from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.  Covered 4.5 miles in 30 minutes.  Did 2 mile warmup somewhat quick in 14:30, then 2 mile cooldown was 13:37.  I ran another 2 cooldown  Started at Meadows and did workout in Woodridge and Lincolnshire. 

Later this evening, ran 3.25 miles from home up through Howard Subdivision and back in a semiquick 21:50 w/ first mile in 7:20, last in 6:10.  Really surprised at how good I felt.  Temperatures took a pretty huge dive as it was 64 this morning and the humidity gone, and still pretty cool this evening, 68.
