Long-Term Running Goals:

Maintain a healthy lifestyle, so that I can live a long and happy life.  Also, introduce my daughters to a healthy lifestyle, so that they don't become a number in the obesity epidemic that everyone is talking about.

I have been married since 2000, with two beautiful daughters born in 2003 and 2006.

Okay, where have I been for the past week?  Well, let's just say that I fell off the wagon for a bit.  There were a number of issues that just got in the way of running.  Nothing serious, and they would all just be excuses anyway, so I won't even go into it.  Just need to get back into the groove.

One thing I will say, is that I really need to clean up my diet.  Gotta get over this CSD addiction that I have.  In particular Vault.  Also, need to learn to watch the portion sizes on what I eat, because I know that I sneak in much more than I should.

Okay, today's run report is 4.0 at lunch in 31:31.  It is warming up finally.  I hope to plant some vegetables in the garden in the next day or two, to hopefully have fresh vegetables in a couple of months.

Gotta go pick up the girls at daycare.

Okay, went out again at lunch today, for another 4.0 in 31:38.  It is definitely warming up now in these parts, though I hear that Sunday is going to only get up to around 50.  I plan to try and get some plants in the ground tonight or Saturday.

Snuck out at lunch today for a nice little 7.2 in 59:55.  Not the fastest in the world, but I'll take it. Weather was kind of weird here today, because it was 60 when I woke up about 7:30.  Then when I got back from from my daughter's ballet class at 10:30, it was 54, and continued to slowly slide all day.  Tonight they are calling for a low of 41, and the high tomorrow will only be 43.  Sounds like a good day to stay home with the family.

 We are going to grill some pork spareribs tomorrow, so should be a good dinner.
