Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Happily married for some time......5 great kids that overachieve in whatever they choose to do.

definetly a recovery run this morning. Needed a few more hours between runs. The rollers from last night got to me. Not quite a death march but a nice recovery run.

lunch run around the greenbelt. I don't think you could ask for a better day...70 and just a slight breeze... Legs are feeling good... Another consistent week I hope. Ready for some long runs again.

nothing too special about this run. Evening run around the local park. 4 football teams practicing in various places along the park. Couldn't believe how coaches yell at grade schoolers trying to capture their glory days of years gone by. Really....shutup, whimp......and then we wonder why women are mistreated....I'm not saying football is bad ....I think there is a lack of teaching when coaches are yelling derogatory comments every chance they open their mouths. Some of my high school coaches were the best at building not tearing down.

Mile warmup and then 1 mile @ 7:50 ...light jog 3/4 @ 7:30 light jog 1/2 @ 7:00 light jog 1/4 @ 6:00 then repeat.......

Really wanted to see how I would do with a few miles at different paces. It's been too long since I've run anything that gets my heart beating harder than what I've been doing for the last couple of months. No injuries and legs feel fresh and I'm still moving.....Maybe I'm not done yet.....How stupid am I.....It's mid October (in Idaho)and I'm trying to get my miles up..

Sure wasn't feeling it today......mile repeats.....legs are dead. 3 easy and 3 @ 7:45....marathon pace miles felt good but the easy miles felt like that death march that I know so well.

easy miles. Planning on a progressive run for tomorrow's workout. Legs feel good and strong. Hopefully I've taken enough time for base buildup.

I had plans for a progression run.....so I did some mile repeats...1 mile warmup followed by 7:10

7:04  7:02    6:48....so in a sense it was a progressive run...felt good. Didn't push these too hard but at a good hard effort.
