Personal:

I'm a happily married guy with a 5 year old son. I started running on February 1st, 2010 with the goal of completing a triathlon (my one and only "official" race prior to that was the "Centerville half mile fun run" when I was about 8) In that following year I lost nearly 50 lbs, completed the triathlon, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, bike races, and really started to lean towards running over the other two (though I still cross train with both).

I grew up hiking and riding horses in the mountains, so I've been drawn to take my running to the trails - and haven't looked back! I run them every chance I get, which is about 90% of the time!

Back at it. Decided that I at least need to get some kind of workout in during the day at work and then add on where and when I can. We've got a decent little gym here, and while its not ideal (especially on a day like today!) it does make it nice for getting a quick workout in.

250 meter row

Run 1 mile, treadmill (9:00)

250 meter row

Run 1 mile (8:30)

250 meter Row

Run 1 mile (8:00) - ran it fairly easy at first and then gradually picked up the pace until the end I was at 12 mph, 5 min/mile pace.

Knees felt a little tender right at the beginning, but once they got warmed up they felt fine. Will probably lay off gnarly downhills for a bit until I feel like they are back to normal. Didn't feel a thing on the sciatic.

Nice workout. Sciatic nerve been bothering you?

Yeah, it's usually just a little bit of a bother, and not usually when running - but it really tightened up and slowed me down at Pony Express a couple weeks ago.

Oh man, no good! You know that I am related to Tyler Bodily right? Can't remember if I told you that...
