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.

Jeff Andrew and I drove 400+ miles to Springfield, MO and ran the Run For The Ranch Marathon.  I did really well, much better than I could have expected.  The course was relatively flat with rolling inclines, but the big story was the 15 mph SW wind.  I used my new Garmin, which lost its signal a couple of times, it measured at 25.88.  I had 1:31:30 half way, so I negative split it.  Didn't really hit the wall until 23 miles and even so, I only slowed down to 7:33 pace the last 2+ miles.  Fastest mile was 11th mile in 6:39.  With the wind and all, the splits were all over the place.  I'm satisfied with the race.  I wouldn't have done anything different for the race.  Now all I have to do is actually do some "marathon" training for Chicago or NY this Fall.  Meanwhile, still going to focus on setting a PR at the Indy Mini.

Today ran w/ Wabash Valley Road Runners for the Annual New Years Day run.  Ran a total of 7.5 miles.   "Warm" and sunny 36 w/ a SW breeze.  Quads are still really sore, but I actually felt pretty good.  Ran from Meadows through Deming Park, Woodridge, etc and back.

Tonight ran 7.5 mile Shrine Hill loop in a really quick 49:16. Had 25:40 half way.  Struggled in parts, ran well in others. Last mile in 6:04. A warm 41 degrees.  The Garmin lost .1 miles on the way back.  Did about 3 minutes on the Octane earlier to warm up.

Ran a pretty decent 7.5+ miles w/ Jacki from Meadows through Deming, Woodridge, etc. and back, same as Thursday, but much quicker.  7:30 pace most of the way down to about 7:15 pace the last two miles.  Left ankle and achillies tight toward the end.  Down hills are still killers for the quads.  Temp a very warm 45 although breezy.
