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.

After Easter candy was accounted for, went our for 6 miles, picked up Allison and did another 7 together. A lot of clouds again, beautiful beach running. Drove back home later in the day. That's three roadtrips in three weekends.

10 miles at track. It rained most of the afteroon, but that petered out just as we were getting started. There was a good group there tonight. Workout was 4x1 mile, 400 rest. I tried to hang off the back of the Mike/Sean/Anthony pack, but blew up on the last lap of the second repeat. Shifted after that and finished the last two out with Quint and Jim.

5:25, 5:33, 5:58, 5:55

I have two principles guiding my running now: 1) Don't do intervals until I've rebuilt my base 2) Don't run with my shirt off until I lose weight. I broke both of these rules tonight, and didn't look good in the process. But sometimes you just have to face the muzak.

Anthony ran very well, passing Sean on his last repeat. Mike blew the doors off his last mile and looks like he's in sub-16 5k shape.

I took a day off work to focus on other things stressing me out- taxes, house chores, bills.

I considered going to a movie or something, but instead I ran a bunch and took a nap. My ankles are hurting quite a bit - probably from ramping up quickly, but that's a new one. On the positive side, I've lost 3-4 lbs in the last 1.5 weeks.

AM: 12 miles.

PM: 8 miles - picked up Elise from school. They have an awesome program two days a week called "Run Club" - the kids wear a pedometer and meander around a small infield track. I did two miles there, drove her home, then met Quint for another 6.

PM: 12 miles. Didn't want that many this afternoon, but I was fixated on hitting 100.
