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: |

| This morning, ran the Fast Track Mile for the first time in 10 years. First time in 10 years that I didn't have to work! Ran the mile in 5:19. Goal was to go 5:30. Took a 4 mile warmup to get to feeling good. Light rain and humid all during warmup and race. Ran 2 mile cooldown. Really want to go 8-10 miles tomorrow, but the back of my left knee is really bothering me now. It is really exactly the same warning signs that I had when I had popliteal tendinitis in my right knee 9 years ago, which ultimately led to removal of a ganglion cyst. Took me 13 months before I could run a step. Hopefully this is just something I can nurse... Going to start putting the Octane back into the routine. |

| Ran an easy 4 miles on the trails at Hawthorn Park with Jacki. Total time 30:57. Back of knee was tender most of the day. Got it the popliteus stretched and loosened up enough to run. |

Today ran a semiquick 4.25 miles w/ Jacki from Meadows through Deming Park and back and added on. Went quicker than we were wanting, 29:58, but reduced mileage has my legs feeling pretty light. 7:15 first mile, 6:44 last mile w/ 7:00 pace in the middle. Warm and humid 84 and sunny. Did 15 minutes on the Octane during lunch. Popliteus and other tendons in back of knee are mostly sore in the morning and irritable later in the afternoon.

| Ran a pretty tough 4 miles w/ Jacki this afternoon. Kinda warm and humid, but the legs were dead. Back of knee didn't bother me at all during run, and just a little tender at times throughout the day. Then went to Austin's CC practice and ran 3+ miles w/ one of the 6th grade groups for 30 minutes at Hawthorn Park. |

Ran at 3:00, so a little warm out. No problems w/ knee. It was a little tight in the back when I got up this morning. |

| Ran 4 miles w/ Jacki after work from Collet Park to The Landing (Old Elks) and back just under 30 minutes. Temp was kinda warm today, 87, but not to humid. Then took Austin to CC practice and ran 3.25 miles w/ the "B" group, 26:40. Were supposed to go 3, but I led a few of them a little out of the way. Oops. Back of knee just a little tender later in the evening. |

| Tonight ran 6.5 miles in 47:49 out at Hawthorn Park, through Rose-Hulman and back. Legs actually felt pretty good because today we went to Turkey Run w/ Austin's CC team and ran/hiked 3 out-and-backs for a total of 98 minutes. Then went swimming afterward. Did an inward dive off the diving board for the first time in about 12 years. Scary. Got a little sun. Knee felt fine today. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. Got very little sleep. Got called twice in the middle of the night for work, then again at 4:45 and have been up ever since. Worked 4.5 hours on my day off... |

| Today ran about 2.5 miles with Austin's CC team as they did repeats of a hilly 400m loop at Deming Park. Then a little later, ran a semiquick 4.25 miles w/ Jacki in 30:05. Actually felt pretty good today. Sore from yesterday. Warm and humid 79. Supposed to cool off this weekend. Back of left knee a little tender this morning and during the day at work. Didn't bother me at all on the run or this evening. |

| Ran an easy 5 miles w/ Jeff and Jacki out at Hawthorn Park and through Rose-Hulman. Picked up a little the last two miles to 6:15-6:30 pace. Did about 6x50m strideouts afterward. Temp cool 74 and all the humidity has been sucked out of the air. Going to make for nice racing conditions tomorrow morning. |

| Got up and ran the Seelyville 5K race this morning in a really good time, 17:41. Went out in 5:41,5:51,5:51. Really happy about this race. Temp was cool, 64. Ran easy 3 mile warmup, then easy 4.5 mile cooldown w/ the first 2.5 at 7:00 pace. Someone was baking Garlic Toast early in the morning! The smell was really strong at about the half mile mark in the race. Later in the afternoon, ran a pretty good 5.5 miles w/ Jacki from Meadows through Deming Park and Woodridge and back 38:39. Temp still cool, but more humid, 67. Legs still felt good. |

| This morning ran an easy 2 miles w/ Austin's CC team. They ran roughly 400m repeats. About 8:00 pace for the group I ran with. Then tonight met up w/ Mark and Mike at WW Middle School for 800m repeats. Did 2 mile warmup, the 4x800m w/ 200m walk rest in the fastest times I've done in years (2:40,2:42,2:44,2:41). Far-fetched goal was to hit 2:45 on these. Realistically, I was thinking 2:48. Then ran a pretty good 5.5 miles w/ Jacki after in 38:14 w/ the last two miles at 6:50 pace. A little warm and humid today but tolerable. |

| This afternoon, ran about half mile warmup with Austin's CC team at Hawthorn. Then ran 4x1000m with one of their groups, pretty easy. Then after practice ran 6 miles w/ Jacki on the trails at Hawthorn and around Rose-Hulman. A little quick in some spots around 6:40 pace, but 7:20 the rest of the way. Had just a little bit of tightness behind knee earlier in the day at work. Temp cool, 74, but still humid. |

| Tonight Ran the Midnight River Run 5K in really good time 17:44 for 16th overall. Sean Mullins out-kicked me the last 200m to get first in our age group. Splits 5:27,5:53,5:58. Kind of a tough course. Ran pretty good considering work was really stressful today with lack of sleep and actually went into the race with sore legs. "Workout". Did 2 miles around 8:00 to loosen up. Then did 2.5 for the race warmup and 3 for the cooldown w/ Jeff & Jacki and Josh. |

| Ran an easy 8.5 miles on the trails at Mirror Lake in The Dells, Wisconsin. Really really nice place to run. Not too sore from yesterday, but a little stiff at first from the long drive. Watch died about 7.5 miles in, so no time, but 7:20 pace the whole way with the last 2 around 6:40 pace. |

| Ran a semiquick 7.5 miles tonight from home via Shrine Hill loop and back in 49:37. Had 26:47, so really picked it up on the way back. First mile on way back was 5:50, but couldn't hold it, so hovered right at 6:10 the rest of the way w/ the last mile in 6:05. Temp cool, yet humid, 74. A little tired from driving today. Didn't get up and run in the morning because we were in Tinley Park. Just a little too much concrete and traffic for me in a place I don't know... Easy 6-8 tomorrow and then Perrysville 5K as a workout Saturday. |
