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 9+ miles today in 1:12:59. I felt lethargic, so I never made any effort to pick up the pace, with the exception of 3 short sprints I ran. I increased the time on the sprints to 20 seconds to let my body try to learn how to maintain pace a little longer when the effort is maxed out. I had to take a detour during the run to bypass trail construction, so I ended up with a bit over 9 miles. | |

| Same run as yesterday with the same detour, but minus the sprints. Total time was 1:11:37. I felt better today than yesterday but decided to skip the sprints as I hope to run another all out 400 tomorrow. | |

| I ran 10 miles today in 1:17:15. I was going to run an all out 400 today, but the high school football team was about to practice and players were milling about everywhere. I didn't trust that I would be able to run on the track without running into someone. I ended up running 3 sprints today, and I increased the time to 25 seconds. Between the first and second sprints I got excited to see a woman on a bike up in front of me, and I sped up for about a half mile so that I could catch and pass her. After I finished Anita wanted to go outside, so I ended up running a mile barefoot while pushing both kids in the running stroller. |

| I ran 10 miles today in 1:17:31. I ran 5 of the really short sprints again (rather than the 20-25 second sprints I have been running this week). | |

| Kimia ran another mile time trial today. I think we need to take a break from running those for a few weeks until she gets more used to the mileage she is running (currently on pace for 27 miles this week). She told me that she normally doesn't hurt until the second lap when she runs these, but she started hurting almost immediately today, and told me that her legs felt dead. Splits were 2:04, 2:11, 2:12, 2:05, +2 seconds for the extra distance to the finish. Total time of 8:34. I also ran a 63 second 400 while we were at the track, with splits of 31, 32, just like last time. I ended up running about 3.4 miles total while with Kimia (pushing the stroller with both kids as well). After I finished with Kimia I went out to run some more. I was pressed for time so I just made sure to keep the effort fairly honest rather than running my short sprints and slowing down to 9:00+ pace afterwards. I had to stay off of the trail due to construction, so I stayed on the roads for what I estimated at 6 miles. I suspected it was longer so I remeasured with the course tool, measuring it at 6.4 miles. Total time for the last 6.4 was 41:25, with the last mile around 5:30 pace. |

| I ran 12 miles today in 1:28:26. I got up just after 6am this morning, but I knew Kimia should run first because she has a harder time in the heat than I do. The problem was that she didn't finish her run until about 8am, and when I left at about 8:15 it was almost 90 degrees, and the sun was beating down on me. I ran 10 miles easy, and then ran the last 2 miles hard in just over 11 minutes. The last 2 miles are downhill, but it was around 100 degrees and I was nearing the end of my longest run so far this year (sad, I know) so I was happy that I was able to run those last 2 miles as fast as I did. Total mileage this week was just over 60 miles. I finally feel like I am actually running semi normal mileage again. | |
