Personal:

I used to run competitively, and maybe I will do so again someday.  Right now I am primarily running to try and get in better shape, and to maintain both physical and emotional health, but also for the simple joy that comes when I run.

I am also the proud daddy of five little ones.  I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running.

The flu pretty much went away by Sunday, but I have still felt horrible.  It feels like I got some sort of sinus infection at the same time I got the flu (maybe because of the flu?).  I came down with a fever again today, and it peaked above 101 degrees this evening.  I fly to Boise tomorrow for a conference, so hopefully I feel a little better by morning.

I flew to Boise today, and I ran from the airport to the hotel (~3 miles) with my backpack (I traveled light) while wearing jeans.  I then ran from the hotel to the conference I am attending (~1 mile), and after dinner I ran back to the hotel (~1.5 miles).  Total of about 5.5 miles, all run wearing jeans, a backpack, and leather loafers.

Same sort of deal as yesterday, but in reverse.  I ran to the conference in the morning, and then ran back to the hotel after it was done.  When I was ready to leave I ran to the airport.  Total was about 5 miles, again wearing pants, a backpack, and leather loafers for all of it.
