Long-Term Running Goals:

Maintain my health and continuosly seek to improve my fitness. Maybe someday get under 3:00 for marathon. More importantly, I'd like to figure out what my maximum ability is and reach that.

Would like to complete ultra marathon some day also as well as a triathlon. I'd mention Badwater but that might get some people close to me worried :)

I've made a list of marathons around the country and world that I'd like to complete (there are 18 so far)

Personal:

Married with two kids. Our whole family tries to stay active. My kids have done great in Tae Kwon Do along with my wife who has her black belt. She is a very healthy cook and has recently been cooking lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes.

Also, she has really been ramping up her running, and keeps a blog about it (but I could not convince her to blog here):

Love living in Florida but love to travel and see the country and rest of the world.

I was supposed to just do 10 miles this morning, and I usually run alone on Monday mornings, splitting up the miles between treadmill and the road.  But Raj had texted me the night before asking if I wanted to run 11 miles with him.  I figured I might as well start the week off ahead and I usually try not to pass up a chance to run with someone else.

Arrived at the Y just after 6:00.  I went inside and warmed up for 5 minutes on the elliptical before heading outside.  We started pretty much on time around 6:15.  It was right at 40 degrees this morning and I was wishing I had brought a hat with me.  A little cold at first, but warmed up some while running.   The running felt pretty comfortable, except for a few isolated hamstring twinges here and there after mile 4.

We were not able to get around the construction area so we had to turn back and take the detour which meant we ran a little bit farther than the planned 11 miles.

Average pace: 8:02
