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.

Went to Starkey Park around 11:00am. It was windy , but beautiful weather. Wanted to do 3 miles.

Stretch + 4 miles! + stretch a lot! .... felt great, but I must admit, taking the time off has really affected my aerobic capabilities.  I exceeded my expectations and will continue to slowly increase my goals.

8:28 average pace.

The injury to my achilles has proven to be much more than I orginally anticipated. I am even on light duty at work because I was unable to perform the Physical Abilities Test we have to do every year.

Anyway, I have been resting (thats the easy part), stretching, and excercising in a manner that did not aggravate my achilles for nearly two months now.

Since Sunday I have been jogging around the neighborhood to test my capabilities and I have been pleased.

Today? Stretch + warm up jog for ten minutes + stretch + 2 mile run! + stretch.

No pain and I feel really positive. Next I will increase my run to around 2.5 to three miles. I keep debating in my head about going futher, but I am committed to take this slow and do it right.
