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.

22 miles in 2:36:41 a 7:07 mile average.

I was planning on running with Kam and AnglieB, when I woke up and 4:00am to a loud thunder right outside my house.  I continue to hear and see lightning and thunder.  I end up chichening out and call Kam and tell him that I am not coming.  At about 6:00 I was a wake It was still raining but no thunder and lightning.  I decide to go running anyway and call Kam and Tell him I was coming.  I drive over to huntsville.  I am so glad I went.  The conditions couldn't of been better.  We started out and I was pushing the pace a little.  I wanted to take advantage of the down hill to get some marathon pace miles in.  When the course leveled out I was having trouble keeping the pace up and Kam and AnglieB gapped me.  The last few miles was around Huntsville park and back to the car.  I think this is one of the fastest 22 miles runs I have ever run.  Thanks to Kam and AnglieB for allowing me to come along.

I started running and I felt pretty sore from saturday's run.  The last 5 miles I ran sub 8 minute miles and they were flat if not up hill.

My first two legs of the Red Rock Relay.  I ran the 10th and 11th leg.  These legs start out with a pretty steep hill then drops about 3000 feet in elevation.  In the last two miles it was still going down hill but I started dealing a strong head wind.  I got 14 kills

My legs were tired today.  When I turned around it was a slight down hill, my quads let me know they had, had enough of down hills.

about 7.5 miles in about 55 minutes.  I started on one treadmill and was about 10 minutes into my workout when it comes unplugged.  When the treadmill stopped without any notice, I slammed into the front controls.  I continue my workout on another treadmill.  I can't wait until the air clears.

21.5 mile bike ride in 60 minutes.  The effort was pretty good.  I thought I would have a non impack workout today.  Going hunting after work so not sure what kind of running I will do the next five days.  Good luck everybody running the Huntsville marathon on Saturday.
