Remain as injury free as possible! Personal: 45 years old this year (2010), Married with five kids between my wife and I (ALL GIRLS!) people wonder why I run?!?
My wife trains hard, but more weight training and has won many figure competitions.
We all love to go to Disney. We have a DVC membership, so I try to make a trip and do all of their races.
Love tattoos and have several. I designed a couple big ones that are running related and will most likley get more. Favorite Blogs: |

Felt a little stiff throughout this run, but managed a 7:38 pace. Tried to go easy yet the stiffness never subsided.
Got it done though.

Took it easy again this morning. My scheduled training has me doing less this week, but with my calf problem last week I am doing a long run Saturday.
Humid and breezy this morning. A cold front is approaching and it is expected to get nasty. Fortunately I have been on vacation and was able to get my run in. Average pace this morning at 7:40. |

Due to some scheduling problems, I had to change my long run to Sunday. This actually turned out to be a blessing. Saturday it was raining and warmer. Today was cold and crisp. I loved it!!!
Christine came out later so that her run would end at the same time. SHe did 7 miles! I was very proud, she has lengthed her runs in a very short period.
The first 8 miles I averaged a 7:40 pace. The last half of my run brought my overall average down to a 7:30 pace. The last thre miles averaged 7:14. Felt really good.
Definately the weather!!!!!!!!! |

HOLIDAY HALFATHON
Start Time - 7:35am Start Temp. 73° High Humidity
Had a couple days off before this race and did not feel well. Started off with a sore throat and had a bit of a sinus issue. I was determined to not allow any of that affect me.
The race started off pretty good. I had a good pace going and felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, I can't say that for the second half of the race. Started to feel a little awkward and got some tinggling in my fingers. Completely related (I am certain) to the way I was feeling before the race.
Still managed a PR by nearly a full minute. I think if I felt well and had some cool weather I could break that 1:30 mark, but only time will tell. Very happy with the end result.
Christine drove to the finish line to pick me up. We have season tickets to the Buccaneers, so we got out of their quickly. Wouldn't you know, I took first place in my age division. Of course. That never happens and I was gone. I will try to contact the event to get my award.
Overall pace 7:04
4 weeks till the Disney Marathon!

Nice to see Mark and the others at the trail, but no one was going as far or in as much of a hurry to get started as I was.
Sooo, I did the 21 miles alone. I felt really good and kept my pace within a 10 second range (7:46 - 7:56) for the entire run.
The weather held up and felt nice. Overall pace 7:50. |

Tempo Run.
Felt REALLY good with this run. Following a slow warm up mile I completed 8 miles under a 7:14 pace. 4 miles around the 6:50 range.
Enjoyed this run very much. |

3:33pm Starkey Trail warm weather medium humidity
This run sucked! What more can I say. Never could find my mo-jo and simply wanted it to end from the time I started. Oh well.
Hoping to find someone for a long run on Saturday. It will be my last big one before Disney and it would be nice to run with someone.
Regardless I'll get it done. |

6:19am Starkey Trail 56°
Saw quite a few of the Striders this morning. Started off with Keith, Victoria, Jorge, and Joe at a nice slow pace. Joe was the only one going 20, so I stayed with him through 13 miles at approximately a 8:00 minute average pace. For the last 7 I wanted to pick it up a bit. With the cool weather a 7:18 mile came easily. Joe stayed with me for another 2 miles. After that I finished up with a nice pace that brought the average for the run down to a 7:51.
Did I mention the weather was great!
Two weeks to Disney, time to taper.

Started off with a nice warm - up mile at 7:58 and then stayed between 7:16 and 7:21 for the remainder.
Had the wind to my back on the way out, but it was a little strong in my face on the way back. A little cold for us Floridians, but its a nice change.
13 days to Disney. |
