Played with the girls all day after church at First Dam with Jessie, the Jeep and the canoe.  I can't think of a time I have loved life more.

15 miles on the bay trail in San Francisco.  Pretty sore today, probably the miles last week announcing evidence of my stupidity. 

I spent some time this week thinking about my running this year.  I get just as much a reward from the trail runs, long runs, runs with other friends and spontanes runs on trips that i know I cannot simply train to race this summer.  I'm going to run.  That means running what my heart wants regardless of what races may come up.  It probably means "running through" a few marathons this next month or so instead of specific training for them.

I got accepted into the National Masters Marathon Championships in Twin in October.  that means getting into shape finally in late summer for a real race.

11 miles with the double stroller on the River Trail with the kids.  Day after the accident.  Pretty much just getting the kids out and one foot in front of the other.
