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.

10.15 miles in 1:17:38 a 7:39 average.  This was an out and back course.  I averaged a 7:40 miles for the out part, then turned around and averaged a 7:38 for the run back.  The trip back is slightly up hill.  I increased the effort a bit.

Hill 5K that was a little short but I ran a PR on.  Race started cross the street from the Warrior.  I got off work and got changed and pretty much went strait to the starting line.  At the starting line they anounced the first place man and woman would get a turkey, no other awards were given.  The race started and one guy went to the front, then another when passed my and the two ran side by side for the first 3/4 of a mile.  I was about 50 feet behind the runners.  At about a mile into the race I passed the second place runner.  As I was coming around the pond I started catching the first place runner.  With about a mile to go I catch the first place runner and pass him for a short time.  With about 3/4 of a mile to go I go into first place and hold it for the next quarter of a mile.  I so wanted to win this race.  With about a half mile to go he passes me back and I am not able to match his kick.  He ends up beating me by about 10 seconds.  I need to work on my kick, I should of won this race.
