A full day of biking (15 miles while measuring a 10K course), walking (One and a half miles with family and dog at Wison Morgan Park) and a  8 mile run thru neighborhood, oak lea and the monte hills. Ran while listening to "This American Life".   1:01:00/7:37

Kelly and the girls went to Scottsboro for the Throbbing Heart 5K. Kelly ran great placing 1st in the Masters with a time of 26:00, another PR. Sunday the 15th she runs The Mercedes Half Marathon in Birmingham. I predict 2:05-2:15 for her.

My wife Kelly ran her first half-marathon today at The Mercedes Half and Full Marathon in Birmingham. She ran a very respectable 2:04:02 which is 9:28 pace. She beat my predicted time for her by 1 minute. The weather was great and the girls and I had a great time driving all over B'ham to see her along the race course. We all had a great day.

Night run in the drizzle around neighborhood and oak lea. No watch, just ran.

Easy run in 'hood and oak lea  7:30 pace. My motivation to get out the door and run has been low lately as you can tell. I'm waiting for the spring jump start or something...

neighborhood run at 7:07 pace. Kelly and I are running a 10K this Sunday, I have no expectations of time due to my dismal training efforts, but maybe this will be what I need to jumpstart me back into regular training.

Neighborhood and oak lea run after work. Still taking it easy with no speed work. I felt good, really light, I might be turning a corner as the world tilts towards spring and I get out of the late winter doldrums. One other runner spotted, it was a nice night. 37:32/7:31

Late night run after watching MI-5 on PBS, very cool show.  I made a Lenten vow to run every day, so that should hopefully get me back into racing shape. Also am getting back into the habit of stretching before and after runs. Flat run through neighborhood. 23:48/7:56

Noontime run thru neighborhood to Wilson Morgan loop and back. Felt slightly stiff and sluggish for first 4 miles, probably due to my increase in mileage/frequency. 44:38/7:26
