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!

Easy (cold) morning run, had to make sure to not speed up..finished with a 7:26 pace.  Trying for easy runs is tough - not because I'm too fast, as others are much faster - it's just hard to intentionally run slower than normal.

1:11:15 total time, 7:23 pace

Kept a nice, steady 7:26 pace throughout until finishing with a 6:57, felt great during the whole run.  Added an extra 1.5 miles to the end of the normal course due to feeling so good.
