Sub 2:19:00 marathon 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. |

| Last night, my wife gave birth to our beautiful baby girl. Little Anita was born at 9:40 PM weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 17.5 inches long. Kimia went into labor at 4:50PM, so the labor was less than 5 hours long, which is really quick for a first birth. I attribute this almost completely to the fact that Kimia was trying hard to be active, often times going on 2-3 hour walks daily, for almost her entire pregnancy. She was also trying hard to be healthy by eating right, so despite the fact that she had gestational diabetes our baby girl was teeny tiny, and wasn't one of those massive babies that take forever to push out. I am so proud of Kimia and the baby. They are doing great! On the running front nothing much happened. I was starting to come down with something, and staying up for the majority of the night pushed me over the edge, so I was not feeling well all day long, and ultimately decided not to run as I was going to do a shortened run anyhow. | | Comments(3) |

| I ran alone today. I kept the long run easier and shorter today than normal. 15 miles in 1:35:25. I ran 1.05 miles in the middle in 5:33. I was really happy with this as I did not look at my watch the entire time, and my goal was to go as fast as possible while still staying relaxed. I was surprised that I went as fast as I did. I also picked up the pace just a little bit at the end of the run. |
