Short-Term Running Goals: Short term, I hope to regain the fitness I have lost over the past few years, and while probably not breaking any of my records above, at least be able to get down in the vicinity of them again. Long-Term Running Goals: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, so that I can live a long and happy life. Also, introduce my daughters to a healthy lifestyle, so that they don't become a number in the obesity epidemic that everyone is talking about. Personal: I have been married since 2000, with two beautiful daughters born in 2003 and 2006. |

Day off today. Got up early and did some stretching, which I need to do much more of. One of my goals is to get into a groove of running in the mornings, and then go to the gym at lunch, to work on stretching and also some weight training, because I feel that both of those would help me tremendously. We had the Easter Egg hunt for our subdivision today. It was pretty cool, and lots of eggs for the kids. However, I was not happy when I got back home and saw my Razorbacks lose to Georgia in the finals of the SEC tournament. We should have stuffed them in the trash.

Had planned to do about seven miles today, but my wife told me she wanted to leave for work by 6:30-6:45 this morning, so I had to get up earlier and shorten the run a bit to make sure I had time to take a shower and be ready for when the girls woke up.
Actually felt pretty good today. Covered the 5.9 in 47:16. Legs felt good, and I wasn't pressing at all. I'm usually pretty sluggish in the morning, (started at 4:45) and can't get the legs turning over very well, but just ran comfortably.
Went to the gym at lunch to lift some weights and do some stretching and core training. Got to keep this part up, to see if being stronger will help me be a better runner, which I'm sure it will. |

Stayed up late last night, so took my running clothes in to go out for a run at lunch. Well, the first phone call I get was from my company's new CFO asking me to attend a meeting he was holding with the managers of one of our subsidiaries that I do the accounting for. Needless to say, I accepted his invitation, and spent the rest of the morning and my lunch break scrambling to make sure I had all of my ducks in a row to be able to answer any questions he asked.
Try again tomorrow. |

| Went out for 4.0 at lunch today and covered it in 32:03. There is a front coming through today, and it is pushing some big winds out ahead of it. Something like 20-30 MPH most of the day. The route I usually run at lunch has lots of turns in it, so the wind we beating the bejeezus out of me. I would be leaning into it one minute, and then trying not to get knocked down from behind the next. However, I'll take it for the inch or so of rain they are predicting for tonight. This drought is killing stuff left and right around here. Our neighbors across the street look like they are going to lose one or two big pine trees in their yard, and we are losing several shrubs. |

| Went out again at lunch. (I've got to start getting to sleep earlier at night.) Ran 4.0 in 31:06. Still feeling good a week and a half into this blog. Have a bit of discomfort in my left knee, but it doesn't seem to be anything more serious than my body that had gotten used to being a couch potato asking for more couch time. :) :) |
