| Location: Arlington,TN,USA Member Since: Jun 01, 2007 Gender: Male Goal Type: Age Division Winner Running Accomplishments: One of the highlights of my short running career thus far has been a rather surprising 10k finish. I had never cracked sub 40:00, but while in training for a marathon, surprised myself with a 38:49 (it remains my PR). 5k - 18:45 10k - 38:49 1/2 - 1:26:57 Mar - 3:15:54 (BQ by a few seconds!) Short-Term Running Goals: Set PR's at every distance and count down to becoming a Master runner. Realistically, I would like to run sub 18:00 this year and lower both the 1/2 and full marathon times. Not many chances here in Memphis to run a good/fast 10k. Oh yeah, try to juggle running/racing with a full-time job, home business, family, and a new baby. Long-Term Running Goals: In August of 2008, I begin training for my first sub 3:00 marathon. The race will be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis, TN. (my hometown).
* I began blogging, again, to help me maintain my motivation for my attempt! Encouragement, advice, etc. is always welcome. Personal: I am married with one little girl (age 5) and a little boy (12 months). My daughter is beginning to run a little with me at her own leisure, I don't push her. My wife runs as well and I hope my son will someday run. |

| Hwy 196, 9:30 a.m., cloudy, 41. This is the first time that I have run this course since the injury. I really didn't want to run long today, but forced and am glad that I did. I had a massive headwind the last 3 miles. The chicken legs were a bit tired today. 10 miles in 1:17:57 (7:47 pace). |

| Hwy 196, 4:25 p.m., cloudy, 43. I really wasn't in the mood due to the cold that I have. I am glad that I got out because I actually feel much better. I have been reporting some hip flexor weakness and minimal groin pain, usually when I sneeze, etc. I did some research and think that I might have osteitis pubis (inflammation of pubic symphysis). 5 miles in 39:48 (7:58 pace). |

AHS, 3:45 p.m., cloudy, 43. I was still feeling a bit blah to begin with, but I really felt like I needed to get this workout in. I am racing a 10k in mid-February and would like to run 39:00. That would be great, because I really want to run a big PR in Germantown. Back to the workout - 6x1000m (3:53.86, 3:52.06, 3:55.69, 3:54.00, 3:54.27, 3:53.87) w/1:20 rec. I avg 3:53.6 for all six. My goal was 3:55. My legs felt a bit flat, even on the first repeat. It never seemed to get any worse, but just didn't feel it today. My groin doesn't bother me during the run, but my left hip has a funny feeling again. More stretching and praying!
Ethan (our 5 month old) has RSV. Our sleep has been VERY poor as of late. Oh, he is also teething. Did I mention the double ear infection to boot! Yea, he has been a bit cranky. |

| Shelby Farms, 2:45 p.m., cloudy, 45. I warmed up 1 mile and then ran 3 miles in 20:26 (6:48/mile). It felt surprisingly easy, despite the rolling terrain. I then did 4x.25 hills up Farm Rd. and then another 2 miles to cool down. This was my combo workout that Tinman likes to use. In the future, I will lengthen the tempo portion and add the no. of hill repeats. 8 miles in 1:00:24 (7:33 pace). Sleep is getting better. |

| Tour de Wolf, 1:30 p.m., cloudy, 44. I wanted a soft surface to run on and just randomly ran on the trails. Everything was soft and, I think, I can tell a difference in my legs (2 days in a row on dirt/grass). 7 miles in 54:54 (7:51 pace). |

| Hwy 205, 9:30 a.m., cloudy, 30. Out in 23:20 (7:47 pace) and back in 22:33 (7:31 pace). There was a pretty stiff headwind on the way out and had it at my back on the return portion. Left hip is a bit tight. 6 miles in 45:56 (7:39 pace). |
