| 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. |

4 miles in 31:32 (7:53 pace). I was going to take off today, but thought that an easy 4 miler would be good. This is my highest mileage, post injury. At 2 miles, I was 7:45 pace and said, "too fast!" I slowed down a bit on the return portion - just as planned.
Next week (Thanksgiving), should be a down week for me, as I have a few planned days off already. |

AHS, 3:00 p.m., cloudy, 69. This was my first "speed" work since the injury. I decided to do 3x1000m @ ~CV pace??? Whatever that is now! All w/strict 2:00 rec. This was pretty easy; however, the first one was way too fast (3:54,4:03,4:02). I also did 4x100m strides on the grass. |

Commerce, GA., 9:00 a..m., sunny, 60. Out and back - even splits. Nothing exciting here. Of course, the poor diet has begun, as have the late nights. I usually don't run too much while down here. I wonder why?
I actually ran 5 miles by myself in 38:14 (7:39 pace) and another 1.5 miles with my wife. She is still trying to get into shape from having the baby. |

| Commerce, GA., 10:00 a.m., sunny, 55. Warmed up a mile and then did 2xScott St. and 4xLakeview. Man, I am still out of shape. Usually, this is the week or so before the St. Jude marathon and I am very fit. This hills in North Georgia got the best of me. I have a LONG way to go before I would be considered fit and race ready. Scott St. is a very long and gradual hill ~600m and Lakeview is short, but quite steep. I have never experienced such a quad burning effort. Another ho hum run with not much to say. We return to Memphis and normalcy on Sunday! I can't wait to have healthy food again, minus the drinking as well. |
