Running Accomplishments:

Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Tweaked my foot just before running, but made a poor decision to run anyway.

I'll be off for a week or so.

Tempo @ 7:26.

Everything feels good, except my hamstrings, but that's due to my attempts at crossfit.

Deadlifts are from satan.

Rucked 50 with TJ.

Had to dislocate my hips to keep up with her.  Yes her.  And yes she was rucking too.

10 x 400 avg 1:32 with 1:30 RI slowest was 1:37

Been doing spin instead of running, but I figured I had better get back on the program.

Tempo. 1600 + 3500 +1600.  I honestly attempted to do them at 7:09s, but my pace was significantly slower.  7:51 for the 3500.

I think my legs are dead from working out or it just might be karma.

Ruck 70lbs

21:53 pace.  Slowest ever.  Probably due to lack of headphones.

Weather was nice though.

Sandstorms have put a damper on running.  Broke down yesterday and used a treadmill.

5 (1 minute thrusters, 1 minute towels and 400m sprint @ 10mph)  It took a bit for the treadmill to speed up so the 400s were 1:37s.

Weather was great.  It rained yesterday to clear all the dust we've had of late.

Paced TJ and she PR'ed.  And placed second in her age group.

She kept calling me names, but luckily my self-esteem is too high for her to make a dent.

The race was a bit short and the official clock was off.  I suppose they started the clock late.  It read 1:39: something when we came in, but the garmin was 1:41:10.
