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 3 miles, with a hard 400 after a mile and a half in 61s, then an 800 in 2:40. HR was around 180 during the 800. Still higher than I would like it to be, but not too much worse than before. |

I went to the Dr. today for a follow up. The pericarditis is gone, but I still do not feel like I have gotten back to normal. The Dr. thinks that I should see an allergist to see if there are some allergy issues that are causing problems. The pericarditis was definitely part of the problem, but it was not the entire problem, so there is more that I need to look into. I will probably keep things easy for the rest of this week before trying to up the mileage again, but at least I know it is safe to run more.
I ran 3 miles today, running a hard 400 on the track again in 63s. Had trouble motivating myself to run hard, so I ran an extra 200 afterward in 29s.

| I ran 3 miles at school on the treadmill at 7:30 mile pace. I wanted to see how the HR would respond at a steady state. Results were not good. I was hitting mid 150's at the end of the run. It seems that while the elimination of pericarditis helped with the HR at 8:00 pace or slower, just upping the effort a little bit still causes it to spike. |

| I ran another hard quarter today, and ran it in 61s again. I do not know what is up, but seriously, for an all out quarter I should be able to run faster than this. |

| I ran to the store and back with Anita in the running stroller today. The wind was really nasty, but at least I got a tailwind on the way to the store. Total time of 23:40ish. |
