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!

Standard order recovery run, took it easy and averaged a 7:32/mile.  My legs felt really good after yesterday's outing, but the rest of my body was a little tired.  Bigger news is that I finally re-inflated my exercise ball and knocked out some crunches (3x15), AND still did my little sets of pushups.  This is a big step, I'm starting very small with the core/strength training, as we all know what happens if you dive in too deep.

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.

Took an extra day off yesterday, and am glad I did..had some tenderness in my left leg that completely went away.  So to celebrate I broke out the weight vest and hit the hills, felt much easier than the last time I did it.  Wound up averaging a 7:53 mile over the 4 miles, pretty fast considering the circumstances.  Tomorrow's run will be weather-based, it's supposed to rain so I may stay in, the upcoming three day weekend is begging for a lot of miles.

Runs like today make me very proud - it was raining (mostly soft but got harder at times) and windy..in LA that's pretty much a disaster and everybody who manages to get home safely just stays in.  So while all of my competition was sitting on the couch I was out getting stronger.  I got the 5 mile loop done with a 7:03/mile pace, faster than I had planned on but it felt great.  Big weekend coming up, excited to do two 10+ milers in the next three days!
