Personal:

My wife, Teresa, has stayed by my side for over 21 years and I am a much better person as a result. Kristoffer, our only child, is now 15 and continues to exceed all my expectations. If you look in the dictionary under the word luck you will see my smiling face.

So today's run was the long run I had postponed from Sunday. Teresa didn't have time to do the full 7 miles before she headed to the office so I did the first out-and-back loop with her. I had to stop and take a potty break before doing the second out-and-back by myself. For some reason the second time around seemed a bit harder.

First Loop:
3.58 mi in 46:21 @ 12:57/mi burning 363 calories with 122 bpm HRavg
Second Loop:
3.50 mi in 45:01 @ 12:51/mi burning 376 calories with 130 bpm HRavg

Glad to have that one in the books and look forward to tomorrow's shorter run.
