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.

I have been feeling really tired with moving and unpacking so I was only going to run 8 miles, however I met another runner named John who also went to high school in Washington and we ran with one another for a little while.  Total of 10 miles

About 3 miles into my run today I got hit by a nasty rain storm with wind, lightning, flooded streets, the works.  I almost came home after 8 miles, but as I was getting close to the house the rain started to get lighter and I was able to run 15 miles as planned.
