Personal:

I live in Kauai, Hawaii with my wife and 3 kids.  I ran x-country and track in high school. I had too much fun in college and never tried out for the teams. I graduated from BYU Provo.

My wife's blog is http://hulagirlclark.blogspot.com

AM - 3.2 miles.  So there are 5 weeks until the biggest race on Kauai (Haena to Hanalei 8-mile) I only run about 30 miles a week but I'm going to increase that to over 40 for the next 4 weeks.  I want to do well in the race.  I would like to run lots of miles like other people on this blog but with my family I don't have the time.

Lunch - 5.0 miles.  I am going to to a few 2-a-day workouts so I can get more miles in.  The only problem with my 2-a-day schedule is that I run at about 6:30AM and then about nooon which is only 5 hours apart.  I think most people run the 2nd time after work which would allow more recovery time.  I'll give my schedule a try to see if it works though.

AM - 2.0 miles.  I know my morning runs are short but I want to increase me mileage slowly to avoid any injuries.

PM - Had to go running later in the dark.  4.8 miles.
