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.

8 miles total.  I ran a half mile fast in 2:40 during the run in an effort to see what  hard relaxed pace would feel like.

8 miles I ran a half mile fast in 2:42 on a slower section of the trail (four 90 degree turns, plus bad traction in places due to trail construction).  I was just trying to run hard and relaxed.  Lately with the minimal running I have been doing I feel like running something hard on most days helps me to stay sane.

8 miles between sessions of general conference.  I ran a mile hard on the track, only looking at my watch at the beginning and end (no splits) as I wanted to try and run hard while relaxing to try and get a feel for where I am at with my fitness despite the lack of training.  It was pretty windy, but I still managed a 5:08 which felt sustainable for maybe one more mile.  Afterwards I ran a hard 400 in 1:04, which felt really strange as I ran the first 200 into the wind in 32s, followed by a 200 with a tailwind in 32s.  What is odd is that I did not feel like I was struggling the final 200, I just had trouble increasing turnover.
