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!

Harder run than the 7:25 pace should have been..took a few days off and felt sluggish.  Legs were fine, but overall energy was low, might try another run tonight.

Same run as yesterday, but felt MUCH better.  It was a few degrees warmer which was nice, but not the reason for the improvement.  I think I just ate better yesterday (veggie stir fry dinner instead of chicken and cheesy potato) and got a little more sleep.  Kept a steady 7:18 pace throughout and felt great about it...free and easy.

Okay, just logged my first two-a-day of 2011 after I discovered I won't be running tomorrow.  Did the same route (but reverse direction) at basically the same pace (7:17/mile) and felt pretty good about it until the last mile.  Even then, my legs were fine but there was a phlegm situation developing that left me pretty uncomfortable.  Nothing gross, but I was happy to be done with run #2 of the day.  

Taking tomorrow off for a day trip to San Diego, then gotta get some miles in Sunday morning before more football.
