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.

2 miles today.  I decided to try throwing in some speed work as it seems that it doesn't matter how slow I run or how far, just getting out the door leaves me feeling like crud the next day.  Maybe running fast will help (even if it is just psychological).  I ran an all out 400 in 61s.  That is pathetic.  It tells me that speed can be trained, and that there is an aerobic component to the 400.

Just 2 miles today.  I felt better after running the all out 400 yesterday, so I decided that even if the  mileage stays low I should keep running something hard on most days.  I ran the 400 today in 61s again.
