My wife, Teresa, has stayed by my side for over 21 years and I am a much better person as a result. Kristoffer, our only child, is now 15 and continues to exceed all my expectations. If you look in the dictionary under the word luck you will see my smiling face.

Total Distance
3.01

Teresa and I are signed up to run the OKC Memorial 5K early on the morning of 26 April. Right now 5000 meters is kicking my butt.

3.01 mi in 33:09 at 11:01/mi burning 374 calories.

Today's odd splits ---
1.00 mi in 10:54
0.51 mi in 05:24 (10:30/mi pace)
1.00 mi in 12:01
0.50 mi in 09:45

I actually ran the first 1.51 mi and stopped for a walk. Then a mile. And finally the last 0.50 mi.

25th of 40 with 2 days to go for a spot on the Chicago Cubs Nike+ running team.

Good job on the run today. Are you looking for a PR on your up coming race?

Sadly, after ITB issues last fall and a long fight with the flu earlier this year, my goals are more limited. At this point, just finishing a 5K would be a good thing.
