TGIF

To celebrate the last Friday of February, Laura and I decided to get a 10 mile run in.  We hit the Burke-Gilman Trail for an out and back.  Oh, did I mention Alex was in the jogger stroller?  That was an extra 40+ pounds to push.  Thankfully, we took turns pushing Alex; 2 miles on, 2 miles off.  Resistance training!

Rain, rain, go away!  The forecast is calling for rain all weekend.  Looks like it might be a muddy run for the Lord Hill 20mile trail run Sunday.  Laura and I are going to be starting promptly at 7:30am.  We were able to complete 14 miles in 2:45; maybe we can finish 20 miles in 4-4:30 hours? 

While I was out for a run the other night, Natalie found this sticker.  She was so excited to give it to me.  It was reported that this is what she said when she found it.  "DAD!  Check out this sticker!  It says 'The Rockies Rock'!  I am going to give this to mom.  She is going to lllloooooovvvvveeeee it.  I think she will use it for her race!  This is SO AWESOME!"  I was very excited to find the sticker she had placed in a special spot for me.  It is now stuck to my computer. 
It brings me such joy that even a 6 year old knows how important this adventure is to me.  Natalie's excitement and understanding is what motivates me to be an example.  Let it be a reminder to you to set aside time for health and wellness.  Take care of your body, mind and spirit....the rest will fall into place.

Happy Friday!
