| Location: Arlington,TN,USA Member Since: Jun 01, 2007 Gender: Male Goal Type: Age Division Winner Running Accomplishments: One of the highlights of my short running career thus far has been a rather surprising 10k finish. I had never cracked sub 40:00, but while in training for a marathon, surprised myself with a 38:49 (it remains my PR). 5k - 18:45 10k - 38:49 1/2 - 1:26:57 Mar - 3:15:54 (BQ by a few seconds!) Short-Term Running Goals: Set PR's at every distance and count down to becoming a Master runner. Realistically, I would like to run sub 18:00 this year and lower both the 1/2 and full marathon times. Not many chances here in Memphis to run a good/fast 10k. Oh yeah, try to juggle running/racing with a full-time job, home business, family, and a new baby. Long-Term Running Goals: In August of 2008, I begin training for my first sub 3:00 marathon. The race will be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis, TN. (my hometown).
* I began blogging, again, to help me maintain my motivation for my attempt! Encouragement, advice, etc. is always welcome. Personal: I am married with one little girl (age 5) and a little boy (12 months). My daughter is beginning to run a little with me at her own leisure, I don't push her. My wife runs as well and I hope my son will someday run. |

| Hwy 205, 9:30 a.m., cloudy, 38. I knew going into this that it wasn't going to be good. My legs felt heavy and flat. I trudged through the miles and actually picked it up the last 4 miles or so. My low back was sore from raking leaves, etc. yesterday. I also stopped a few times to "fix" my iPod! 10 miles in 1:18:21 (7:50 pace). |

| Hwy 205, 2:45 p.m., sunny, 59, and very windy. I still feel like I have this sinus thing and wasn't excited about going to run, but had to get it in - the last run of 2007. Nothing special and my legs felt, surprisingly, snappy. 6 miles in 46:51 (7:48 pace). |

| Hwy 205, 2:45 p.m., sunny, 25, and windy. I didn't know what to expect because this is the first time that I have worn pants, hat, and gloves. I felt really good with the first 3 miles @ 7:33 pace. I then ran the next 4 miles @ 7:06 pace with relative ease. A good, solid night's sleep last night left me revived. 7 miles in 50:58 (7:17 pace). |

| Shelby Farms, 2:00 p.m., sunny, 33. After yesterday's run, my left groin/hip flexor felt tight or strained. I felt it during my run today, but it was okay. It bothered me more after the run. 3.5 miles in 26:16 (7:39 pace). |

| Hwy 205, 2:45 p.m., cloudy, 48. I didn't want to get out of the door for this one, but I am glad that I did. My left hip flexor/hip had been iffy during the morning, but seemed to loosen up as the day went on. The run was fine and I just kept it very easy. Could I hit 40 mpw??? 5 miles in 36:44 (7:44 pace). |

| Hwy 205, 9:30 a.m., cloudy/light rain, 50. I kept the pace easy for the out portion and threw in 6x125m strides during the run. I had a stiff wind on the return portion, but picked up the pace. Both hip flexors were tired by the end of the run. I have been wearing heavy trainers for runs as of late. 7 miles in 52:23 (7:29 pace). |
