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 home from school today. I was finishing up some of the final things that I needed to do in order to finish my thesis. My problem was that by the time I finished what I needed to work on, it was the middle of the day, and my route home is completely exposed to the sun. So, I ran home in approximately 103 degree heat with a decent headwind for about half of the run, while wearing a backpack that added approximately 5 extra pounds. I didn't want to get myself in trouble with overheating so I made no effort to push myself at all, and I made it home in 1:10:44, almost 2 minutes slower than an 8:00 average. |

| I ran what I will call 2.7 miles while running errands today. I ran to Walgreens to buy hair gel, then to the grocery store to get a few things, and finally to get a hair cut before meandering around a bit more and coming home. | | Add Comment |

I ran 8.6 miles today in 1:03:xx. What a world of difference it makes when temperatures are about 20 degrees cooler, you have a little shade, and there is no wind. Despite running to school where I have a net increase of about 200ft (vs. coming home on Wednesday when I was coming downhill) I had all of the previously mentioned benefits, and I made the trip about 7.5 minutes faster today than I did on Wednesday. I was wearing a backpack again, but it only weighed 8 or 9 pounds, so it wasn't too bad. I performed my thesis defense this afternoon, which was good to get finished. Now I just need to finish up the last few necessary things to get graduated so that I can move to Iowa at the end of July. |
