Went to my girls soccer game then debated whether or not I really wanted to run.  First, I must brag about my kids.  Gracie has mad soccer skills and can score at will from the left side.  She cracks me up after she scores because she jogs back acting like it wasn't a big deal but there is a definite hint of arrogance in her step.  Emma is an amazing keeper.  She stops anything that comes her way even if she has to use her face.  

Decided that I had to get myself out the door because that is what a runner does.  I want to be a runner again so I have to start putting in the work.  Felt pretty lousy during the run but I got it in.  Fitness level felt alright but the mental aspect was lacking.

Oh I think mental issue are so much harder to deal with! You just can't ice your brain.

I hope you get your inner runner dude back soon!

Your kids rock!!!! I could totally visualize Gracie with her little jog/strut down the field and Emma's "taking one in the face for the team" mad skills!!!

(That's where it is at!!! The running motivation will come and go ... but the excitement you feel when you watch your kids ... now that it permanent!!!! You are an awesome dad!!!)
