Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Ran around the neighborhood this morning before work. I am not a fan of running before work, I am still cold. Just tried to take it easy and burn some calories. I made sure I did not bring my music, because I never "take it easy" when I run with music. I also didn't look at my pace during the run. AP ended up being around 9:15. Just needed to add some extra miles this week and knew I was working late tonight.

 I ran on the treadmill at the gym. 1 mile warm up @8:49 recovery pace then 3 half mile repeats at 6:00 pace with a quarter mile recovery in between at 8:49 pace. Finished with a cool down mile at recovery pace. Felt pretty good, I planned on doing this run last night after work,but I was starving and felt a migrane coming on.  Did do some core excercises last night.  Hopefully I can build on my speed sessions, next week I will add some tweaks.

Tempo run at the acadamy gym this morining.  1 mile warm-up @8:49, I wanted to keep my pace at 7:00, however it would only let me go 7:03 or 6:58, so 1 mile 7:03, 2nd 6:58, 3rd 7:03, 4th 6:58, kept it at 6:58 until the last 2 laps, and bumped it up to 6:53, then 6:48.  finished with a cool down mile @ 8:49.

The run felt pretty good, I want to finish a half this year in 1:30 or less, so I am going to keep working on building on my tempo runs at that pace.  My lungs felt pretty good, legs were a little "wobbly" most likely just because I was on the treadmill.  They were not sore just "wobbly"  I felt like I could have kept going so that is a good sign.

Went out this morning with Chet.  My last couple of workouts the bottom outside on my arch) of my left foot has been hurting.  I was hoping it would go away after I got warmed up today.  No didn't go away, just got worse.  Hopefully it will heal up soon.  About mile 7 it was hurting pretty bad.  It was a nice run, my legs and lungs felt great.  It was just torture being held back by a foot, but I did not want to push it.  AP 8:22
