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 ran with Hyrum and Sasha this morning. We made it through 3 miles with Hyrum in 24:39 and then Sasha and I went out for 7 miles more. We finished in 1:15:52. There was a little bit of soreness in my quads this morning that I needed to run out after running long on Saturday and then resting yesterday, but it was minimal and I barely noticed it after the first couple of miles.

| I ran with Sasha, Josse and Hyrum this morning. Hyrum turned around at 1.5 and the rest of us ran a 2 mile tempo at Josse's tempo pace we did mile 1 in 6:29 and mile 2 in 6:24 (total time 12:53). We turned around at 3.5 miles and came back. I then went out alone and ran 6 more miles I kept the pace easy and I made a conscious effort to keep the pace no faster than about 7:30. I wasn't perfect but I was close. Total time for 13 miles 1:39:55. I am starting to feel some tightness in the groin on the left side, which I seem to get whenever I run too hard. I don't feel like I have been running too hard but it might mean that I need to slow it down even more the rest of this week

| I ran with Sasha and Hyrum this morning. We did 3 miles with Hyrum in 24:17. We dropped him off and then ran 3 miles more in 23:38 (47:55 for 6 miles). I then ran 4 more miles alone in 27:29 for a total time of 1:15:24 for 10 miles. I did the last 4 miles a bit faster than I really wanted to because I needed to finish so that I could get to class on time. Overall a good run. The tightness in my groin in also less than it has been the last few days.

| I met with Sasha and Hyrum this morning and we ran 3 miles together in 25:37. I then ran 3 more miles with Sasha, running the last mile in 5:40 for a total time through 6 miles of 45:43. After this I drove home and then ran 7 more miles from my house. On my way home I ran three 100s over the course of the last 2 miles in about 15 seconds each. I finished with a total time of 1:35:20. | Add Comment |

| I ran with Sasha and his son Benjamin this morning. We ran 3 miles together, followed by another 3.125 with Sasha (we accidentally added an extra 200) for a total time of 49:10. I then went home and I ran 5 more miles (minus the 200 I added earlier with Sasha) for a total time of 1:26:01. My legs were feeling somewhat tired this morning even though I have gotten enough sleep the last couple of nights. I wonder if I am not eating enough. My left leg also was feeling kind of funny near the same spot where I had my stress fracture. There is no point tenderness and the feeling I had kind of came and went, so I am hoping it is nothing. I think I might take my long run a little easier than normal tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

| My leg was feeling kind of funny yesterday so I decided to take it a little easier today and I slowed my run down. Because I was going slower I also decided to cut my run a little short just to be safe. I held about a 7:45 average through 7 miles after which I was feeling a little more reassured that my leg is ok and I picked up the pace slowly until I hit sub 7:00 pace around mile 11 or 12. As I was nearing on my turn around before heading home I saw one of my friends that I knew in high school, and after I turned around I picked up the pace to try and catch up to him. I did this for what I guess was about a half mile, at about 5:30 pace and as I was getting close to catching him he reached a stop light and went straight where I needed to turn. So, it was all for naught but I'll probably see him on campus one of these days anyhow and I can talk to him then. I then came home to finish up my run in 1:56:07. Based on my final time it looks like I didn't slow down much over the last 2 miles or so because my average time per mile at the end was under 7:13 yet at my final turn around it was still over 7:25 with less than 3 miles left.
