Really want to race again. 5k's to the marathon. Love to qualify to run Boston at some point.

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.

Week 2 of the RLRF program. Not sure how to take these monday workouts. Trying to figure how hard to go but still finish them. Saturdays run was just fine and I ran well below the targeted pace, but these intervals I fall well short of the range. Hopefully I will recover for Wednesday run. I sold my motorcycle today...... I'll be doing a bunch a cycling for now....which is a good thing.

Still might run my tempo workout but I'm not holding my breath. Just finished a 65 minute bike ride and avg 19.4 mph. Legs feel a bit sluggish so I might wait and run tomorrow and then do a rest day and then the long run. Liking the flexiblity with the RLRF program... just hope that it gets results.

Felt like running this evening and so I did! It was dark so I opted for the tm and set the incline at 1 and away I went. Mile and a half warm up and then the scheduled tempo run. Felt pretty good considering I had a pretty good bike ride earlier in the day. 7:26 was the goal and I managed avg 7:13 for the tempo. I wish I could hit the mark on the intervals.... Oh well. See how the legs feel tomorrow.

I thought I would have a better run this morning than  I did. I finished, but it didn't feel very good. I had the idea to run this and then do the Skiller 5k which is a fundraiser scholarship run for a young man that passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. My legs felt like concrete after my run so I just helped out. Hoping that I have a good recovery day tomorrow.... Last weeks 13 miler at a faster pace was a breeze compared to this weeks run.
