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 felt decent after the weekend. I was less stiff than I expected. I feel like the things I have been doing to try and get myself to feel better have been working (mostly just eating more).

I hit my estimated mile marker in 7:58 this morning. It is the first time in the past few weeks that I have run the opening mile of my run in under 8:00. My achilles didn't feel too tight either (that is usually why I have been starting off so slow). Focusing on eating more in general, but also eating more of some specific foods seems to be really helping lately. I also wonder if just taking things easy and not running any speed workouts has also helped my body to adapt better to the mileage I am running, as despite the low overall mileage I am still running consistently more than I have at any point in the past 3.5 years.

I felt pretty good while running today despite starting the run with a temperature of 83 degrees, and finishing the run at 86 degrees. I just kept things easy like I have been for a few weeks, starting off with an initial mile of 7:49, followed by averaging 7:34 per mile for the rest of the run.

| 6 miles in 47:47?
I ran 6 miles this morning and finished in 47:47 according to my watch. However, I am a little confused because at about 4.4 miles I thought I was about 90 seconds under 8:00 pace, but by 5 miles I was only about 20 seconds under 8:00 pace. Either I looked at my watch wrong at 4.4 miles, or I mishit the watch button when I tried to stop it to go to the bathroom. This is one area where using the GPS watch would have been beneficial, because it would have recognized that I stopped and recorded it as such online even though I have the auto-pause function turned off.

It was cooler this morning than it has been on other days lately as we had a big rain storm last night. It felt nice.

I ran the same route that I ran on Thursday. I was very surprised when about 4 miles into the run I had a guy pass me. Normally I don't ever have people pass me, even when I am running close to 9:00 pace early on in my runs. I sped up and followed him for a minute or two, and then continued to run a little faster than normal because there was a race going on and I got excited even though I was running in the opposite direction of the race participants. As a result, I ended up averaging close to 7:00 pace for a 2+ mile segment of my run.
