Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

10.3 miles this morning with Sasha, Mary Ann, and Daniel.  A funny thing that happened this morning, I stopped about 4.5 miles into the run to take a vpb, and while I am doing my business I see a plastic frog staring at me from under a rock.  Next to it was a plastic container with something in it.  I was intrigued, so after I finished I pulled it out from its hiding spot and I started running with it.  Ends up that it was a geo caching site and the container was filled with plastic frogs for people to take with them, and a log book to sign and put a stamp in saying that you had found it.  After I finished looking through it I decided that I needed to speed up and catch the others, which I did.  I then had to run a little extra after catching them so that I could figure out where it was I needed to put the container for other people to find it, afte which I caught up again.  All added up I think that this gave me about a mile at marathon pace, maybe faster.  I finished the run in 1:17:58 for what I will estimate was 10.3 miles.

Hopefully you didn't leave a "prize" of your own at the geo cache site with your vpb, or that could be an unpleasant surprise for the next person... :)

My sentiments exactly!

You can go to http://www.geocaching.com/, find the site and recommend people stay away for a couple of days.
