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. |

| Even though I didn't run yesterday I felt a little off this morning, indicating that I am still not fully recovered from increasing mileage as quickly as I have been lately. I still ran 10 miles, but I kept the whole run easy. I had to take a detour to avoid construction so I ended up with about 10.5 miles in 1:18:00. I then was running all over the UNLV campus yesterday getting things done, so I ended up running between a half mile and a mile extra. I will call it a half mile. | |

| I figured that since I am moving this week, and I don't feel fully recovered from last week, I should back off just a bit on the mileage this week. I ran 8 miles this morning in 58:48. During the second half of the run I ran 7 x 1 minute hard 1 minute easy. To be honest I didn't really push the hard sections as hard as I could have. I felt like the capacity to push myself was lacking just a little, and I was content to relax and run fast without killing myself. I finished the second half of the run in 26:58 after a 31:50 first half. I then showered and came to UNLV again, and I was running all over campus again trying to get things done. I will give myself another mile for that. | |

| 9 miles this morning in 1:08:48. I kept the pace relaxed, but it felt like I was doing more work with my calves. I wonder if I am less economical than I could be? At school today I got the final things finished up in order to turn in my thesis to the graduate college. It feels good to be done. I ran about a mile and a half extra running around campus today. |

| 9 miles this morning in 1:08:34. I ran 3 x 400 during the workout followed by an 800. First 400 was actually a little long long, was net uphill, and had a turn near the end that almost caused me to stop. The split ended up being 1:12. After a 400 recovery the second 400 was also a little long, and had close to zero net elevation change, but it had a super steep downhill with a cooresponding uphill, and 4 turns. The split was 1:13. I then had an 800 recovery before the final 400 which I knew was short, so I added some extra distance to hopefully make it long enough. This repeat had a net downhill with no turns or funny stuff and I ran a 1:05. I'm still not sure if the distance was right. The 800 was actually a half mile, and this is the only split that had an accurate distance today. It had a net downhill with one turn and some twisting in the first quarter, with a short but steep uphill (about 10 seconds) in the second quarter after going down under the railroad tracks. Finishing time for the half mile was 2:21. | |

| 9 miles this morning in 1:09:xx. I kept the pace relaxed for the most part, but I did speed up a few times to catch people I saw running up ahead of me. | |

| I am in Utah with my family as we move to Iowa. We stayed with the Pachev family last night, and I ran with them this morning. We ran 2 miles with the kids and then ran up the canyon before running a 3 mile time trial to see where my fitness is at. Starting pace was erratic the first 400 meters, but after that I settled down and got into a groove. Splits were: 80, 77, 75, 75 (5:07), 75, 78, 76, 77 (5:06), 77, 76, 76, 75 (5:04) for a total time of 15:17. I was pleased with the time as on Friday night I told Sasha that I wanted to break 16:00 and I was way under that goal. I was also expecting to fade the last mile, but I negative split the time trial. I am pleased that my fitness is coming back so quickly, but I can tell that I still have a long way to go. Total distance for the run was 14 miles in 1:48:02. |
