In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Lunch run from work. Warmup continues. High 60's now. Stiff breeze out of south.

After warmup, I did two separate miles at Marathon pace with about 30 seconds rest in between. The first one was directly south down Finley Island road right into the 20mph wind. It was a chore to do that one in 7:10. The return trip was much easier and smoother @ 6:52. Overall pace was 7:50 for the entire run.

I had grand plans to wake up at 4:30am and get in a run but at 3am I switched my alarm to get one more hour of sleep. I stayed up till 10:30pm watching the coverage of the New Hampshire primaries. I should have gone to bed.

Had a good run from work. Ran mostly on the trails- climbed the powerline hill a couple times and the paved hill from the pumphouse once. Felt good.

I need to get a morning run in sometime this week in order to get 45 miles for the week. I don't want to have to leave myself 20 miles to run on Saturday. I'm sure I could finish that but I want to level out the mileage for now.

Lunch run on the trails - 4.9 miles. 8:30 pace.

Tornado watch in the afternoon. Raining.

As my birthday treat (36 YO), my wife let me stay after work for another run. Went on treadmill since I didn't feel like running in the dark and rain. As an easy run, I kept my HR between 135 and 145 BPM. Pace was 7:50-8:00/mile. This is 70-75% of HR Max.

Lunch run. Averaged 8:01/mile. Felt good. Right calf is tight. Need to massage on a regular basis.

Went over to Point mallard to run the trails. Grady Tyler asked me to check out the new privet clearning the Park and Rec department had done. Looked good. They nearly all of the native trees. After running the trail, went down the golf course road to get water at T.C. Almon. Headed out on the bike trail and looped over to Delano Park and then back home.

Avg Pace was 7:53/mile. Felt easy most of the time. Last 5 miles were harder. Tried to keep each mile under 8:00.
