AM-5 miles easy-medium pace. (7:10 avg). 7th/Ft Union route.

Got my warm up today doing the usual routine of bringing the laundry up and down the stairs and then vacuuming them. Stretching was courteous of picking up Aaron's room of course. This is part of the usual daily routine along with other stuff. And yup, you guessed it I'm a stay at home Dad. Which by the way doesn't sit well with some people in our world but who cares what they think... Definitely not not us:) In my down time I take an anatomy and math course online. Kim and I have decided that this is really the best thing for the family because I'm there for the boys and to help them with their homework after school and she also despises laundry and housework.. I don't mind it however because I'm a fanatic when it comes to clean and orderly surroundings. You can thank my parents for that, they keep an absolutely immaculate home.

PM-5 miles on the parkway. No watch but around 7ish pace after warm up.

It's funny, Steve, I was just picking up from dinner (which I make pretty much every day) and doing the dishes and thinking about similar points though I don't know anyone in particular who who scoff at me. Not currently being (even close to) the bread winner, I'm the bread baker. And that's okay.

I say, good for you both!

There's an interesting article over at theatlantic.com now called "The Rise of the Non-Working Man". You guys aren't alone.

Our economy today provides plenty of opportunity but even more uncertainty.

Jason, thanks. I find that most people also are pretty accepting. It's just a few narrow minded people I know who I now pretty much avoid like the plague.

Rob, thanks for the article reference. I've been reading the "Atlantic" lately with the last article being on the pros and cons of the recent oil boom. This recent one you sent kind of hits home in a way.. Right now I'm re-training in medical coding. I'm really optimistic and excited for this because it more fits my aptitude and interests. And most of all it pays a living wage..

The medical field is the place to be if you want a guaranteed job.

Pretty much. My wife saw this coming years ago and left her interest in being a radio broadcaster which she did for a small station in Washington. She went back to Nursing school.
