Run until I die. Personal: I love to run. Most days, it is the difference between a good day and a great day. And on those days that aren't so good, a nice long run helps me to relax and remember what is important to me.
I'm an attorney, but frankly, I don't like most lawyers. I don't care about money or social status. Fortunately, I found my dream job as a prosecutor. As such, I spend most of my time in court trying to achieve a resolution that will have the best impact on our community.
I've been married to my best friend, Jennifer, since 2003. I like to think she has made a decent man out of the boy she married. We have 3 amazing children. They are the joy of my life. |

| I don't know if my body is struggling to recover from last weekend's long run or not, but my back is still inflamed and my legs are really stiff. I am going to have to start taking ibuprofen and aspirin to try and loosen up. I am happy that I can still run, but I won't be happy if I don't get back to form for my race in 17 days. Hopefully, things will get better soon.

| I have had a terrible week of training so far. I haven't felt fast and loose the way I expect to. I finally realized that I did 4 hard workouts last week, and I was probabaly just a lot more sore than I realized.
Today, I felt great. I went out fast from the start. I considered running 12 miles at marathon pace, but I stopped when I got to 9 at just under an hour. Then I took it easy for a couple of miles and took the dog for a run around the neighborhood.

| I have really struggled this week. The inflammation in my back has died down somewhat, but the problem in my right hip has gotten worse. I thought that cutting back on my mileage would help me to really loosen up and get energized for my upcoming race, but so far the result has been the exact opposite. I believe that I am experiencing bursitis in my hip, so I need to really focus on stretching and strengthening my hamstrings and glutes. Anyway, today's run went okay, but I certainly hope that I am able to solve the problems that I am dealing with so that I can have a good race.

Antelope Island Buffalo Run 25 K (16.5 Miles) 02:17:00, Place overall: 17, Place in age division: 7 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 1.00 | 16.50 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 17.50 |
| I absolutely love this race. The island, the course, everything about it is just awesome. Last year I ran the 50 miler as a personal challenge. This year I wanted to see if I could race competitively.
I did a 1 mile warm up and I felt great. The race got under way and I think it's fair to say that I went out a little too fast. Then I settled in and went to work. I was right on pace at the halfway point despite some strategic walking breaks. I hit 8 miles in 62 minutes. I took it easy going up the major climb from 7.5-9 miles, but I held it together until the last major hill at Mile 12. My quads really started to tighten up after that and although the final miles weren't slow, I wasn't exactly racing to the finish, either. Despite the finish I had a great time. The most exciting moment of the race was when I saw my family near the finish and my son ran alongside me for the last 100 meters.
I had set a goal to run this race in 2:15 and I thought that I might be close to 2:00. When I set my goal I was expecting to run approximately 15.5 miles. Given the extra distance and my pace, I think I would have finished a 25K in about 2:09, so I'll have to be satisfied with that. Also, with the numerous back and hip problems that I encountered the last couple of weeks, I was thrilled to run without any pain or stiffness.
Thank you to the race director for hosting such an awesome event and thanks to my fellow competitors for taking part in this event with me. I can't wait for next year!

| AM - I ran miles while Brody pedaled along on his new bike. We had a lot fo fun together.
PM - I ran 8 miles at a faster clip, but I tried to relax and enjoy the warm weather. It was very windy, so half the run felt effortless and the other half was a chore.

| I went for a run this morning. It was nice and warm, and the wind had gone away. Unfortunately, the lake is becoming infested with bugs. It's definitely spring time.

| I ran the Virginia Loop today. It was warm and windy, but I kept a relatively quick pace. Stil, I had plenty of energy when I finished.
