Personal:

I am a 37 year old Male.  I have been married now for over 15 years.  I have three kids, all boys.  My boys ages are 14, 11 and 7.  I have always enjoyed running and my wife is slowly being converted.   While I was going through college I didn't do much running so I am having to teach my leg how to run fast again.

In the morning I ran 8.4 miles in 1:05:48 a 7:50 mile.  I ran north on the rail to trail line to the end and back.  I then worked on my truck for the rest of the day.

At night I paced the 1:50 group with Tara and Kam in the Legacy midnight run.  It was fun.

10 miles in about 1:18:10 a 7:49 average.  My eleven year olds scout group was doing a 10 mile bike ride.  The boys road there bikes and I ran.  They were faster going down the hills but I was faster going up the hills.

This is not a run but a hike.  I hiked 3.4 miles with a 40 pound pack.  I hiked to granddady lake then set up my tent and put most of my stuff into the tent then ran and hiked back to the parking lot to pickup two sleeping bags.  The sleeping bags were not the light back packing sleeping bags.  They were heavy.  My pack weight about 15 pound with the sleeping bags.  I then returned to Granddady lake.  I was caring the bags for a 350 pound 14 year old.  We were hoping we didn't have to life flight this extremely over weight kid.  The thing that ticked me off the most is after I carried the bags to camp, he didn't even say thanks.
