Personal:

I've been running since high school (mid-1990s) and do pretty well when I'm focused on a goal. My main problem  is running consistently when I'm NOT training for something specific. I'm an attorney, and I've been married to my husband, also a runner, for 5 1/2 years. We live in Phoenix, Arizona.  We had a beautiful baby girl, Caroline, in August 2009.

I was able to squeeze in 5 miles on the treadmill between work and dinner tonight.  It was boring, but I'm glad I got it done.  I ran it in 48:10, a 9:38 average pace.  It didn't feel as easy as a 5-mile treadmill run should, but it was fine.

We went to a Thai restaurant for dinner (yum!) with family that I had not seen in 15 years, and one family member whom I had never met.  It was a fun ending to a LONG day.

Tomorrow will be an intense day at work.  I'm hoping I can go home a little early and take a nap to gear up for 20 miles on Saturday!
