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 trys 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.

Easy paced run. Felt good to get a full run in after doing just 5 last Friday, no running Sat or Sun, then just 3.6 yesterday. I was beginning to worry that my training was unraveling - which I should not be worrying about.

Anyways, it is all better now. The run was just long enough to feel like I accomplished something. Weather was nice and cool but I slightly overdressed, felt comfortable at the beginning but a little too warm at the end.

I looped around the neighborhood making up a route as I went along going down various side streets. Jenny did her run first this morning, I got ready and did my warm up and was out the door as soon as she returned.

For the first mile I felt pretty good then felt tight and cloppy for the next two miles but slowly felt better, last 1.6 miles felt pretty good.

Average pace: 8:03

Brooks Glycerin 6 Miles: 6.65
