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 10 miles today in 1:20:49. Last 4 miles in 31:16. Other than the race on the 13th and some minimal speedwork I haven't run anything that fast for a while, which is kind of sad considering my fastest mile today was only 7:42. I am feeling better pretty much every day, so that is good. The exeption to this was Sunday, but I had no run planned as usual and I took a 4 hour nap.

I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:19:46. I was happy to average under 8:00 pace for the first time in a while. My first mile was 8:29, but due to a mild tailwind I had caught the 8:00 guy by the 5 mile mark where I turned around. I had a mild headwind and net elevation increase the second half of the run so I ran right around 8:00 pace for the rest of the run.

| I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:18:46. I hit 5 miles in 39:24, and ran the second half of the run in 39:22. The running has been getting better and better every day lately. Last night was rough as I felt run down and I was having headaches, but after 10 hours of sleep I felt decent this morning. |

I ran 10 miles today in 1:18:39, hitting the halfway mark in 40:03, and finishing the second half in 38:36. I felt kind of sluggish at the beginning, however my legs seemed to wake up just before I hit the halfway mark, and I sped up quite a bit. I ran the last mile in 7:27/7:28, which surprised me a little bit. I have another Dr. appointment tomorrow morning. We will see what comes of it. From the results I got from my blood work last Friday it seems one of the liver tests they did had borderline high (or low?) values, but additional testing came back normal. All of the other tests were supposedly normal, but I will hear more about this tomorrow. Blood testing can be frustrating at times because of the huge ranges that are accepted as normal in the medical community. Unless your test results are so far off that you are incapable of performing general daily tasks it is hard to know if a value is actually off for a specific individual. |

| I found out today that I have Mono. I had felt sluggish at the beginning of my run yesterday, as well as yesterday evening and this morning. This explains part of the problems I was having. I decided to take a little time off so that things don't get worse. I have heard horror stories of people that still tried to exercise when they had mono.
