If you ever think "I'm hungry I'll get three corn dogs instead of two", just go with two the third ruins it.

8.3/55:25/6:41 tried to do a progression run but just couldn't keep turning up the speed. Felt really to start and really bad at the end (third corn dog). 

Struggled today. I'm having some difficulty hold any type of a pace. Seems I can vary up and down, just not stay down. Of course I ate a greasy pizza for lunch and no breakfast so that might have something to do with it.

Felt great to be outside today. Run felt easy. I wore my HR monitor for the first time in awhile, mainly because I wanted to see how my body reacted to taking a 5hr energy during a run (thanks Gray for that idea). After taking it HR spiked for about a mile then settled down and felt pretty good for the remaining portion of the run, so I might try it again on a longer run. 10.55/1:11

Getting really close to trying to buy a small farm and building on it. Excited about the possibilities but not about living in Dad's basement that long. The miles might start climbing to keep the sanity.

Trying to talk my kids into skipping school Friday to go skiing.....that's right I have to talk them into it, that never had to happen to me. I skipped without a second thought. It's not too early for a snow day, right??? 

These are my main skiing buddies for the year. Hadley (4), Gabe (6) and Chloe (9). Chloe is now trying to ditch me and Gabe tries to hit every jump he can.

Got a call in the middle of the run from my wife telling me I needed to pick kids up from school in 15 minutes. Well since I can complain here and not anywhere else. I was a bit upset because I received the same call this morning while I was in Idaho Falls for work and just barely made it to get the little kids. On top of all this my wife decided that I need to go on the detox food shake crap thing for three days with her. I have drank two pretty nasty shakes and one now sits on my desk in front of me that I can't bear to drink. Oh and I'm not allowed to eat real food during this time frame. I've decided that I'm not going to be the supportive husband and will eat real food no more shakes for me.

I haven't been running much lately and knew I wasn't in 5K shape. Overall I ran ok considering all things. Had no time goal in mind or pace. I went out and settled into an ok pace and just kind of cruised to the finish. Around mile 2 I passed a couple of guys and then just finished. Had zero kick at the end. I figure these are some of the fastest miles I've ran in a few months, if not longer. My wife and two of my daughters ran as well. My little girl Chloe (9) hasn't ran for a couple of months and did so well. I got her to kick so hard at the end when is all she could do was talk about puking. She's the only child so far that can push through the pain. I might have a great little training buddy for 5K's.
