Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

AM: 14 miles.

Small crew with a lot of people out of town for Boston this weekend.

Then a cleaning frenzy leading up to 1pm, when we had to vacate for an open house on our property. Hours of cleaning and strangers roaming through your house, what's not to like?

My cousin called while we were out. 16:00.45 5k on the track this weekend, and he just turned 46. Gotta keep up with that.

We took our daughters to an indoor playground where they had coffee and lounge chairs for the parents. I almost fell asleep.

My younger daughter asked my older daughter what her favorite thing was today, and she said "being with my family". I guess we're doing some things right.

First thunderstorm with rain this evening.

AM: 15 miles with Lee. Since St. Anthony's Triathlon will be occupying downtown St. Pete tomorrow, moved this one up by a day.

Got to catch up with the Boston Marathon crew last night. Somehow that ended in a jam session at Bryan's house that I didn't escape until about 2AM. I noticed two things: (a) running 15 miles on 3 hours of sleep isn't much fun, and (b) I can no longer play the guitar.
