Personal:

I am a 33 year old Male.  I have been married now for over 10 years.  I have three kids, all boys.  My boys ages are 9, 7 and 2.  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.

Ran 8 miles in 58:56 whick is a 7:22 mile.  I ran the first .75 miles then stretched.  I ran the first 2.5 mile in 17:30 3 mile in 20:48, 4 mile in 28:45, 5 mile in 35:50.  I ran pretty hard and I was hoping to average a 7:15 mile.  The first 3 mile were a little fast 6:56, mile 4 was to slow (7:57).  Mile five was a good pace, 7:05, but the last three mile I averaged a 7:42 mile.  I ran the last mile in about 7:26 so I did speed up in the end.  I need to increase my endurance so I can hold the pace for longer.
