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. |

Back to the super steep hills of Prescott again. These hills really slow my runs down, because I feel like I am constantly either running up, or down, a 10-12% grade, and running uphill slows me down and lot more than running down speeds me up (constantly slowing down when running downhill to avoid destroying my legs).

I'm still looking for a good route to run in Prescott. There are some areas that I have liked running in, however they tend to end too quickly, and I worry about dogs getting loose and coming at me as happened to me last Monday (a vehicle driving by bailed me out as it distracted the dog long enough for me to get away). Today I ended up running along busy roads for most of the run. I can't say that the smell of car exhaust was my favorite thing. I did find a few trails about halfway through the run, but they only went on for maybe a quarter of a mile.

I went exploring down a dirt road this morning, but unfortunately it turned into a single track trail and then ended abruptly. As a result of my goofing off, and meandering about trying to see if the trail started up again, the first half of my run was very slow, approximately 26:00 minutes for the first three miles. I then ran the last three miles in approximately 21:30.

I almost got hit by a car today. I was about to cross a street, and as I was entering the intersection I was watching a driver that was approaching me. I noticed that the driver was not slowing or looking in my direction at all even though there was cross traffic and the driver was about to turn. I jumped out of the road and sure enough, the vehicle just blew straight past me without even noticing that I was there.
Also, today's run took the exact same time as yesterday... except online it somehow loaded up after the run claiming that I had finished the run 15 seconds faster than what the watch stated at the end of the run. It bothers me when this watch does this, and if it weren't for the fact that I am running different routes every day, as I can't find a running route in Prescott that I actually like, I would just wear a stopwatch and end the confusion.

I ran a 1.6+ mile loop three times during the run, plus additional distance to get to 7 miles. The loop has a massive hill in it that rises about 250 ft (iirc) in a little over 0.6 miles. Total elevation gain for the run ended up being around 950 ft, with almost all of that occurring by the 6 mile mark, as the last mile was downhill.
I ran in the Hoka's that my friend gave me again. I figure that making a time and a place for everything has it's benefits, so even though I mostly run in minimalist shoes I feel like going to the opposite end of the spectrum on occasion could be a good thing.
