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 easy this morning, running 8 miles out and back on the Pittman Wash, and throwing in 4 miles barefoot on the grass at the baseball fields after the first mile.  Total time was 1:28:22 for 12 miles.

I ran too and from school today.  I kept the pace easy in both directions.  I ran about 1:03 on the way too school, and 1:06 on the way home in the evening.

I ran on the Pittman wash today instead of running to school, as I am driving out to Utah in the evening.  I ran 10 miles in 1:10:48.  I ran a mile fast on the way home in 5:04 (2:40,2:24) followed by a half mile in 2:23 a little over a mile later.

I ran with Sasha this morning before heading off to USU to present my poster.  We ran a three mile tempo during the run, hitting mile splits of 5:20, 5:22, 5:31.  Sasha started to struggle during the second half so we slowed down a bit, but it wasn't a big deal to me as I was not planning on running anything fast today, and I had only gotten 4.5 hours of sleep due to the travel.  Total time of 1:11 for 10 miles.

I ran with Sasha again.  We ran a fast 400 with Benjamin in 70 seconds, and later ran a mile in 5:32.  Otherwise we kept things slow.  Total time was about 1:40.

I ran a 10 mile tempo with Sasha this morning out on the Provo River Trail 5 mile out and back course.  We hit splits of 5:48, 5:43, 5:43, 5:43, 5:59 for the first 5 miles.  Other than during the second and fifth miles, pace was erratic as I kept wanting to speed up, and Sasha would ask me to slow down.  The fifth mile was slow because Sasha needed a break.  During the second half I ran mile splits of 5:42, 5:40, 5:30, 5:09, 5:02.  I was with Sasha until 7.5 miles, at which point I took off after the turn-around and ran the last 2.5 miles in 12:48 with quarter splits of 79, 78, 78, 78, 77, 76, 77, 76, 75, 74.  Total time for 10 miles was 55:59.  Sasha finished almost 2 minutes after me in 57:57.  I was happy with the effort and result of the tempo.  The majority was much easier than I am accustomed to, but the last 2.5 miles made up for it, and I finished stronger than I remember finishing when I used to live here.

After running back to Sasha's house we ran with his kids, and finished up 20.5 miles in 2:23
