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!

7:18 pace over 4.26 during a morning run - threw in two .27 mile repeats in middle, 1:42 and 1:44 each

Did another run at night - I know you're supposed to spread out the speedwork but I added two .54 mile repeats, each with a .27 jog between, in the middle.  Whole run totaled 5.07 miles at a 6:56 pace, but that's aided by the repeats of 3:25 and 3:24, and a final mile of 6:37.  Two runs away from hitting 1,000 miles on the year, gonna get it done in the next couple of days before heading out of town.

Total on the day - 9.33 miles, 1:06:19 overall for a 7:06 pace

Easy, flat morning run - great temps, slept well.  Didn't feel too many effects from yesterday's double dip, kept it nice and steady with a 7:30 pace; 26:18 overall time.

Got over 1,000 miles for the year - one day later than 2009, but over 8 hours faster.  Woo hoo!

7:09 pace - on vacation visiting my upstate NY family, braved the low 30's weather to get outside.  It really wasn't too bad, as the wind was calm..could've gone farther but wasn't familiar with the area.
