Personal:

Married with three boys. Ran the Odgen Marathon in honor of my mother, a marathoner, who passed away from cancer and it just had continued from there. Grew up in a running family and have fallen in love with running, especially on trails.

Finally made it out running this morning.  I haven't been feeling too hot the last two days so I decided to hit the treadmill at the gym this morning so I could run to the potty if needed.  I missed my workouts on Tue. and Wed. due to sickness.  Tue. called for 4 x1k at 5k pace, and today was 4.5 at 10k pace, with Wed. a recovery run.

I decided to mix it all together for todays run.  1.5 mile warm up then 2x1k at 6:22 pace with a lap and a half recovery in between.  Then 2.25 miles at 6:39 pace, with a 1.5 mile cool down at 8:49 pace. 

I only had to stop once about a mile into it and head to the potty.  After that I was able to get into a pretty good rythem.  It was not the easiest run today but I finished and proved to my body it can still perform even though I was not feeling the best.  Hopefully I can keep building and not be set back at all.  I was a sweaty mess when it was all said and done, feels pretty good.
