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 did a bit of cross training today.  Hiked up to flatiron in the superstitions near my parents home in Arizona.  Total of 7 miles round trip, with about 4,000 ft elevation gain to get to the top.

Another day of cross training of sorts.  Went out walking for 4+ hours, while wearing Shayon the entire time adding an extra 20 pounds or so.

I ran out on the canal trail near my parents home.  Took a detour near the end of the run to avoid some dogs.  Estimated at about 4.75 miles

I tried to run a little farther today, and I did not feel good at all during the run.  My HR was higher than it has been, and I felt sluggish.  Total of 6 miles.

I felt like crud today, so I only ran 2 miles just to get my legs moving.
