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. |

| I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. Super sore. The good thing is that the soreness feels like it won't last for too long, unlike after past marathons where I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I am actually encouraged by how I feel. I feel like I will be able to get back to normal training sooner rather than later. The Lord always has his ways of teaching me, and this marathon may be one of those times just as the last one in November was.

| Still fairly sore, but not too bad. I didn't do a formal run because I think that it is good to take an extra day off after a marathon, but I did run to one of my classes, and I ran from my lab to my car at the end of the day. I will call it 1 mile of running. I didn't feel too bad. My quads were tight, but did not really hurt, so that was a positive. | Add Comment |

| I ran most of the way home from school before meeting Kimia at the library. 6 miles total. I didn't feel too bad, but once I started running I felt more soreness than I thought I would. 6 miles may have been a little too much, so I will probably run less tomorrow. |

| 4 miles this morning in just over 29 minutes. My quads felt sore yesterday, and my hamstrings felt sore today, however overall I felt much better today than yesterday. The soreness I felt today seemed to relax away for the most part by the time I had been running about a mile and I felt pretty good over the last 3 miles.

| I ran most of the way home from school today before meeting Kimia on her way to the park with Anita. I ended up walking with them for a while, but no extra running. I will call it 8 miles for the run which I finished in 56:xx (I was running a little quicker than normal). My legs don't really feel sore (just a little soreness in the quads when I squat) but they still feel somewhat dead. I can run quick, but I just don't feel like I have that spring in my legs that I normally have. I guess that is what happens after you run a marathon. |

| I woke up yesterday morning feeling fried. I realized that in my excitement to get back into training mode again I was coming back too fast after just having run a marathon last Saturday. Even though I was not really sore it was more than my body could handle. So, I didn't run yesterday, and today I went hiking with Kimia instead of running (probably hiked about 3 miles at about 8000 ft altitude up on Mt. Charleston). | Add Comment |
