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. |

| 5.1 miles in 39:20. I felt lethargic so I just took thinks easy, and didn't get going much faster than 8:00 pace until that last mile, which I ran in the low 7:00 range.

| 4 miles in 32:10. I started to feel some abdominal cramping shortly before 1.5 miles, and I steadily slowed down for the remainder of the run thereafter. I was a little surprised as I have not dealt with cramps like this in a long time.
On a side note, I emailed my shoe company contact about the problems I have noted regarding the watch I have been using. We ended up emailing back and forth for a while on Monday. They are already working on fixes to some of the problems that I have noticed, so I am hopeful that eventually this watch will become much more accurate out of the box than it is currently.

I made it to about 4.1 miles in 30:07, then sped up the last bit, running 6:09 pace the rest of the way to the house (6:02 for .98 miles). My goal was to try and run close to a 6:00 effort, however there is a large hill that averages an 8% grade (assuming that the internet is correct) that lasts for about 0.1 mile which slowed the pace down. Total elevation gain for the last mile was approximately 50 ft.

Starting at about 2.25 miles and ending just before the finish of my run, I ran 5 short pick-ups that I am estimating were about .05 each. I just wanted to get my legs moving fast without putting a lot of stress on my body. As I get back into shape, I feel like I first need to learn how to sprint again, and after that I can focus on learning how to run fast for an extended period of time.
As things are right now, because my aerobic fitness is still not great I will go anaerobic at moderate speeds, so I feel like I need to increase my general aerobic fitness first before I start running longer tempos, or longer intervals. This isn't to say that I won't run longer intervals (see last Saturday), but I feel generally like I need to focus more on the short stuff at present.

| 5.1 miles in about 46:27.
My parents are in town for Enloe's baby blessing (born on Mother's day), so I ran with my dad and my running pace was slower than normal.
