Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Happily married for some time......5 great kids that overachieve in whatever they choose to do.

Nice morning to get back on track from a pretty lousy week. Feeling better today and Saturdays run felt great to get back into things. Didn't quite hit all targets but I did have a week off and so I probably was off and sluggish?

Well after 2 days of stomach virus or whatever you want to call it, I was able to run today. Ran up sunnyside road and back..... 650 elevation gain on a very warm afternoon. Pretty tired from not eating a whole lot....... water and gatorade......kinda like running a marathon....

Just some easy miles today trying to get some energy back after the stomach garb earlier this week. Felt real crappy at 5am this morning. Had planned on running with Sheridan at 6 but waited until 7:30 and roughed it out.

Back to the grind with the RLRF Program. Today was a good workout for me. I just about hit all the goals. Didn't dread this workout for some reason. Some of the longer intervals kill me.....

Tempo run on the tm. Lucky to get this one in, my daughter had acl surgery today and spent a good share of the day with her. 1 mile warmup and 4 miles at around 7 min miles and 1 1/2 cool down.
