I am really impressed by your lifestyle change! That is so admirable. The people who love you are so lucky.

Murph, how was your half?
It was ok. I didn't push it too hard because I had pretty much already moved on to training for a 5k in June. I knew that I wasn't where I wanted to be so I just took joy out of running with a friend.

As for what I'm doing this month.. well, on pace for about 110 miles. I'm running 1-2 interval runs a week (3 mile workout portion bookended by half mile warmup and cooldown).. a 5 mile tempo run (4 mile workout portion with the same warmup and cooldown), a hill run, and a long slow run. Plus, I'll mix in a recovery run or two during the week.

Two kids..what are there names?

As for the lifestyle change..well, I've run long distances off and on since the age of 16 (just too much off at times). I'm getting back into it again after a abdominal muscle injury.. My father died in December.. I suppose being there when it happened and trying to revive him really had a profound impact on me. I didn't want to live my last 20 years as he did..
