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 ran 4 miles this morning in just under 32 minutes.  My left quad still feels tight when I run, however there is slowly beginning to be less pain which leads me to think that I may be able to increase the mileage soon.  9 miles on the bike, riding too and from school, and to the store in the evening.

I ran some with my running class this morning, and then ran a little more after class with Jackson, one of my students.  Total of about 5.5 miles.  I only rode about 3 miles on the bike today, riding to school and back

I ran in Omaha today as I drove out early this morning for the American Society of Biomechanics national meeting.  I found out very quickly that once you leave downtown Omaha, the city is super ghetto.  I definitely would not want to run in those neighborhoods after dark.

Anita started preschool today as well.  She does not go for very long, but it gives her the opportunity to spend some time in a fun setting.  She was super excited to ride the bus this morning.  Here are some pictures Kimia took (I didn't want to miss out while in Omaha).

I ran 4 miles this morning in Omaha.  I stayed in downtown this time because traffic was minimal at 6 AM.  I enjoyed being able to see some of the older buildings mixed in with the newer architecture.  Old buildings give a city some style (as long as they are not falling apart).

One last run in Omaha before heading home.  I ran along the river today that marks the Iowa/Nebraska border.  I left later this morning, but still early enough to see some of the early morning color in the clouds from the sunrise.  Not as pretty as what I would see in Washington when the sun would come up behind Mt. Ranier in the morning, but pretty nonetheless.
