Personal:

Married, living in LA - great running weather most of the time, lots of racing options.  Tried to BQ in October, 2011 but failed miserably (DNF) in the 80 degree heat and with a head cold..I'll give it another shot at some point, but not for a while.  In May my baby son will be old enough to join me for a run with his jogging stroller, can't wait!

Today was a good, faster run to kick off the week - averaged a 7:03 mile, with a fast 6:40 to finish.  Came home and did the same pushup/crunches routine, keeping it nice and light so my body doesn't get too mad at me.  I'm only planning on two runs during the rest of the work week, the upcoming 3 day weekend I have is calling out for two longer efforts.
