Personal: I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10. I've been running since 1982. I never get "basic" injuries. I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping down on my peroneal nerve. Favorite Blogs: |

| Ran a pretty good 2 miles in 13:36. Had 7:25 half way, stopped, stretched, then came back with a 6:11. Conditions outside are ideal, 51, post rain, hardly a breeze at all. This is probably what's it's going to be like 12 hours from now, just hope we don't have a downpour during the race. Feel tons better than yesterday although left IT still has kinks the first few minutes and stomach bothering me a little. |

| Today ran the Indy Mini in really good time, 1:18:19. Really strong race for me. Ran in a pack with Travis Lozier from miles 3-8, but couldn't quite hang on the rest of the way. Weather was ideal, a little humid, but perfect. Some of my splits were the fastest I've done in 10 years, 5 mile, 10K, 15K and 10 mile splits were all faster than any race I've done since 2000. Went out really hard, struggled a lot the last 3 miles, just couldn't turn the legs over. Splits! 1. 5:39 2. 11:29 (5:50) 3. 17:25 (5:56) 4. 23:17 (5:52) 5. 29:06 (5:49) thinking it was going to start raining as there were sprinkles. 6. 34:57 (5:51) 7. 40:52 (5:55) 8. 46:53 (6:01) losing grip on my pack
9. 52:55 (6:02) 10. 58:54 (5:59) 11. 1:05:01 (6:07) 12. 1:11:09 (6:08) 13. 1:17:20 (6:11) 13.18 1:18:21. Official Time 1:18:19.

| Ran a pretty decent 3.25 miles from home up through Howard subdivision and back in 22:04. Actually ran kinda fast even though the legs are sore. They aren't "dead", just sore. So, probably ran faster than I should have. First mile in 7:26, last mile in 6:18. Did 7 minutes on the Octane before to warmup. Temp cool 66 and nice. |

Run With The Foxes Half Marathon (14.98 Miles) 01:54:18 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 1.00 | 14.98 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 15.98 |
| Today ran the "Run With The Foxes" Trail Half Marathon at Morgon-Monroe State Forest. Pretty good race. Took the wrong turn, twice, ended up with 14.98 on the Garmin. It may have been more than that as the Google Earth tracking on my computer shows some gaps throughout the race. The race started out pretty slow as once we got into the woods, we were single file. This was the only thing that kept me close to the leader. Once we broke free from the others, I was in second and he just started to pull away and I knew there was no way I was going to be able to go with him. We got a "lot" of rain this week in Indiana, so the course was a real muddy mess, and the streams were much wider and deeper than previous years. I actually completely wiped out 4 times, the first time, jumping through one of the streams that was a foot deep. I totally misjudged the bank and wiped out and landed on my right arm. At first I thought I broke it, but it may be just a bone bruise. It's swollen, purple and achy. It was at three miles during an open field stretch that I last saw the leader. At 7 miles, someone was catching me, I could hear him "landing" and "splashing" behind me. We got to one point where we had an open stretch so I decided to really hammer it down. I put a good 30 seconds on him in a mile before I realized that I was at some guys camp in the woods at a dead end. I stopped and the other guy told me he hadn't seen any pink ribbons for a long time. So we both turned around and started jogging backup up the hill I had just hauled butt down. Got back on course, got lost again about 10 miles in and had to double back and regaining a lot of the spots we had lost. In the meantime, I had wiped out a couple more times while pulling away from number 3. I don't know how many spots I lost on the first "lost" trek, but at that point, I made the race between me and number 3. Ended up with 1:54:18. My whole body is sore. On one of the wipeouts, I couldn't even do a single "pushup" to get back on my feet, I had to crawl my way back up. I've got scratches and bruises everywhere from grabbing trees, etc. Very tough race, but really glad I ran it. |

| Tonight ran a really tough 10 miles in 1:11:49 from the Y through Woodridge and back. A pretty "warm" 79 degrees, although the humidity was really low. Legs really really burned the first 4 miles which really surprised me because when I did the Octane during lunch today, the legs actually felt pretty good. And had a RHR of 47 this afternoon. Was hitting 7:30 pace most of the way until about 7 miles in, where I dropped down to 6:40 pace the rest of the way in. Did 30 minutes on the Octane during lunch, 5.18 miles. |

| Got up early and ran an easy 7 miles w/ Jacki from Meadows through Woodridge and back. Had to cut course short as I had to be at work early for Memorial Day systems maintenance. Worked all day, so didn't get a chance to throw in the Octane. Temp started out really warm, humid and miserable 74, but started raining midway through and made a huge difference! |

Ran a really quick 6.5 miles today during lunch from home down around Collet Park and back in 40:12. Had 20:41 half way. Pretty warm 70 w/ a West cross wind.

Tonight, ran another 3.5 miles from the hotel along the paved trails in Columbus, 25:52. Felt pretty good.
