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.

3 miles midday with Elise on her bike. Hip was sore, but at least legs not trashed.

AM: 8 miles.

PM: 8 miles at lunch with Quint in obscene heat/humidity.

Today I actually felt pretty good. I felt drained for so long after this last marathon - feels like the 1/2 marathon shook something loose. I'm going to try to train more normally this week, without digging a deeper hole.

AM: 6 miles.

PM: 8.5 miles at track. Did a mix of 800s and unstructured speedwork (AKA Mike's Point Game). I tried to strike a balance between getting in some quality and not pushing my left leg too hard. As it was, the humidity and my fitness kept me from overdoing it.

4 800s with 200 rest: 2:41.2 / 2:34.8 / 2:35.7 / 2:31.8, and some shorter pickups on the Pinellas Trail.

Fun time running, and I'm feeling much better overall. It is a little tough to watch Mike and Sean blast off only to chase after them like Mikey in A Christmas Story. I just need to focus on incremental improvements each week, and consistency, and better results will come.

AM: 8.5 miles pushing the jogging stroller to the park, freeze tag with the girls, and back again.

PM: 4.5 miles before dinner, actually felt OK around 7:00 pace. A few weird twinges though.
