Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- 12. Good start to the week. Planning on ~87 this week with only 16 on Sat.

PM- 10, ran the whole Logan River trail while Marci pushed both kids in the jogging stroller. Ran in my brand new Saucony Progrid Guide TR shoes, from the St. George Running Center. Good shoes. Nice day for a run. McKinley loved throwing rocks into the river afterwards. 1:14:46.

Great start to the week!

I love how you guys shoot for the exact number. 87 then 91. I'm way more scatter brained. I'll do like 57 one week 89 then next. Then 109 then back to 94. No real plan just shooting or running from the hip.

Clyde- I have to carefully allot my time and coordinate with my wife. I get home from work at 5 pm, so if my wife needs me back from a run at 6:30, I know exactly how many miles I can run. And when 6 vs 10 miles in the morning means getting up at 4:40 am vs 4:10 am, you better believe I am going to sleep in every minute I can and leave only enough time for the miles I need that week. Nothing left up to chance.

Just face it Jon, you are just a geeky engineer who loves numbers! ;-)

From Jon on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 11:08:31 from 138.64.2.76

Maybe. But I also love sleep and family time!

From jtshad on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 11:09:32 from 204.134.132.225

Amen, thus the early morning runnning!

From Jon on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 11:42:07 from 138.64.2.76

Well, the early morning running cuts into the sleep, but gives more family time.

One of these days I'll figure out how to consistently get more than 5.5 hours of sleep a night...

I hear you Jon. It is about the toughest balance in the world!

From Jon on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 13:37:20 from 138.64.2.76

And you're running twice my mileage, Dave! I have no idea how you do it.

From wheakory on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 13:38:03 from 134.50.89.55

Jon - with the the lack of sleep do you fine it hard the days you do big workouts. I know a good warm-up helps but lack of sleep probably makes it hard.

How far do you have to commute to work?

From Jon on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 14:58:07 from 138.64.2.76

Kory- my big workouts are in the afternoon, so I am already awake. But little sleep makes it real hard to get up for my morning runs.

100 mile round trip commute.

From dave holt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 15:31:11 from 204.113.55.41

100 miles! - that is how I am able to get in a little more.

From Jon on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 15:40:50 from 138.64.2.76

Yup- leave for work at 5:40 am, get home at 4:30 pm.
