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.

Seven mile in 52:31.  I ran the first 3.5 in 26:30 and the last in 26:01.  The course was an out and back course with more uphill on the way back.  Frontage road course.

Ran with Joe again this morning it is nice to run with some one.  I could tell he was holding back so it was a nice easy run for him and for me a marathon pace run.  Joe told me it was ten mile but when I drove the course it showed as 9.4.  We ran it in 69 minutes  ran 7:20 minute mile average my goal is to run a marathon in 3:10 a 7:15 mile.
