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.

20 miles, solid group today. After 3 warmup, ran 16 miles in 6:37 avg, then 1 cooldown. Pretty good run. Miles 14 & 16 around 5:48.

AM: 3 miles

PM: 7 miles at track, with 2x2 miles, 4 minute standing rest.

Had late-breaking work issues and almost didn't make it to track. Abbreviated warmup and felt scattered. Luckily Sean was there and I just followed along.

11:02 (5:39 / 5:23)
10:46 (5:25 / 5:21)

Probably another step forward, but I'm still not feeling right. I just haven't felt that sensation of legs, lungs, heart and mind all being in sync. In some ways I felt comfortable, in others I felt pretty far away from being fit.

AM: 12 miles. Christina had an 8 mile wave tempo scheduled which I ran with her, alternating 6:45 / 6:25 every mile. Felt controlled but not easy.
