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.

We went camping yesterday evening.  I did a run today at the campground.  I will estimate that I ran about 6 miles.

A couple pictures...

We told Shayon to swim in the water.  Evidently he thought swimming was the same as taking a bath, so he stripped off his swimming trunks and started splashing around naked.

Anita was afraid of the water for some reason (maybe she thought it would be cold) so I ended up setting her down in the mud so that she wouldn't have to get in the water.

I ran 6.5 miles today.  I strained my quad (I am thinking the sartorius, but I am not completely sure) before I found out that I had mono and I thought that it would be fine by now since I have not been running much.  No such luck for me as it hurts worse now that it did before.  It was fairly painful.
