Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

I ran with Sasha, Hyrum, and Daniel this morning.  We ran from my house back to Sasha's house first where we dropped off Hyrum after which we ran to BYU because Sasha wanted to do a strength test performing a one rep max in the leg extension.  Sasha went first and did 180 with his right leg while slowly increasing the weight and then 200 with his left leg minus the incremental changes.  After that I was able to do 160 with my right leg and then 180 with my left leg doing the same thing that Sasha did.  After this we ran back out to the Provo river trail where we did 4x100.  I did my first 2 in the high 14 to low 15 second range.  I ran my third 100 in the low to mid 14 second range and I ran the 4th in the mid 13 second range.  We ran back to Sasha's house where after which I ran back to my house.  Now is where things get confusing.  There was so much stopping and starting and running in strange new places that we are not quite sure how far this all is.  Sasha thinks that it might be 10.75, however I am sure that it was a little farther than that.  I finished in 1:31:59 which would be an 8:33 average however I am sure that we were going a little faster than that.  On the other hand I don't want to add more than I actually ran, so I think that 10.8 will suffice mainly because it brings me up to an even 45 miles for the week up to this point.
