Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

Best running weather I can recall for FL at the end of May. Wish I could say I felt strong today, but it was a grind the whole way. Pace felt about right for where I am in my training. Mentally and physically just exhausted though.

Glad to get my first official TCM workout on the books. It's a good sign to run this workout 4 months out.

PM: 8 miles at lunch with Quint, both of us dragging.

You are killing the miles! Enjoy reading your blog. Looks good seeing an "old" guy like myself @ the top of the running board. '73 was a good year. I was brought into this world that year too. Good job on your running! Keep it up!

Thanks! Props for the class of 73. :)

Looks like you have a great thing going on your training and group.
