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!

Very easy run, I really tried hard to go slow and succeeded, averaging 8:03/mile.  I golfed earlier in the day and had some beer while playing, so that helped dampen my appetite for speed too, but my goal would have been the same either way.  This capped off a big week, with a tally of just under 35 miles from Monday-Sunday.  I don't think I'll run tomorrow, so February will likely finish with a total of 105 miles.

Good, quality run tonight, averaged a steady 7:10 mile over the route, and finished with a sub-7 minute mile.  Glad I went to 7, although this will be an easier week than last, it's always nice to tack on a couple extra miles.

Standard issue easy recovery run, held the pace to 7:58/mile.  The bigger news is that I went to the gym this morning..didn't do too much, but it was nice to lift some weights.  Gotta get in there 2-3 times/week from here on out.

Today's run was harder than expected - I planned on finishing the route in just under an hour, and succeeded, at 59:53.  But the effort output was more than I thought it would be..could be partially due to weather (74 degrees at the finish), or just a tough day.  I had to hustle at the end with a 6:59 final mile, to make sure I was under an hour, but the pace was mostly steady throughout the run.  Average bpm was 166, with a high of 179 towards the end of the run, about where I thought I'd be.  A few miles tomorrow will complete a solid step-back week.
