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.

10.65 miles in 1:19:26 a 7:26 average.   Ran the base loop.  At the three mile mark I was averaging a 7:52 average most of the next 7 miles were in the 7:00 to 7:10 range.  Gave pretty good effort but no miles were in the marathon pace range.  One was close at 6:58.

10 miles on the treadmill.  I ran the first 9 miles at 8 miles an hour then increased the pace to 9, then 10 and 11 for the last mile.

Ran for 1:20:00 around a  track that was 10 lap per mile.  Every few minutes I would time 5 laps and they were always between 3:30 and 3:45 minutes. I am not sure which is mentally harder running on a small track or a treadmill.  I might of run farther than 10 miles but there was no way I could keep track of 100 laps.

80 minutes running around a 10 lap per mile track.  The track is indoor so that is nice but the many turns is hard on you.

12.6 miles in 1:47:07 a 8:30 average.   Ran on base while my wife was in a zomba class.  I ran to the golf course road the ran up it 4 times.  The road is a mile long and a pretty good hill.

This was a mixed workout.  I started out by running 11:20 on a small track then spent 1:06:00 on an elliptical and treadmill.  The ran another 10 minutes on the track.  I then did 150 situps.
