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.

Today I just needed to get out and relax for a while, so I didn't worry too much about the speed or the time while I was running and I went exploring.  I ran around the golf course for a while (very hilly), after which I hopped onto some trails that were right next to the golf course and I ran around there for a while (not as hilly but lots of twists and turns).  I ran through a few streams just for fun and I ended up making it back to my house after close to 1:50:00 of running.  I estimate that I ran somewhere between 13.5 and 14 miles.  I will count it as 13.5 just to be on the conservative side.
