Full PR - Running 1st one in November!
Finished 3 half marathons, one 10k (PR accomplished during training), one 5M, and one 5K. Scheduled to run 10k on 08/09, 1/2 on 10/04, and a full on 11/08 (Madison Marathon in Madison, WI). Short-Term Running Goals: Finish a full marathon, become FASTER, get closer to Boston Qualifying shape. Long-Term Running Goals: Qualify for, and run in the Boston Marathon. Personal: Married with 2 kids. My personal story is that at the time I started running, I was 5'11", 255lbs. When my daughter was born I realized how important it was to me to not only be there for all of her significant milestones and life events, but how important it was to truly BE THERE. By that I mean that I needed to be the BEST version of myself physically, so that I could be a great example to her, and could be a healthy participant in all of life's magical events. When I first started, I could finish a mile (barely) on a good day in about 11-12 minutes. Now, I am running 40 miles a week as I prepare for my first full marathon and currently weigh 170lbs. |

| LSD run. Felt strong and refreshed afterwards. Ran by a bank that said it was 48 degrees, or 70 degrees. It was not sure.

| 4 miles easy - Easy is always relative coming off a LSD run. I would say this one looked easy to someone I was running by, but felt like I was running through sand.

| 6 miles hills - Current plan calls for weekly hill runs in the first seven weeks, and describes the effort as comfortably hard. I think I should start a civil war while describing myself as an advanced beginner. Any other oxymorons I should consider?

| Weather conditions - Temp - surface of the sun, humidity - Louisiana Swamp. Run results - work out gear now weighs more than I do.
