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.

Thank the gods, the incredible heat wave has given way to the standard hot temperatures. We are predicted to reach a tolerable 98*F today and everyone is glad to see anything below 105*F. To celebrate, Teresa and I crawled from bed at 0630 this morning, donned running gear and took to the track. While our goal continues to be 10.0 mi we knew we could be happy with anything over 6.0.

Glad to have another solid run in the books. My goal is to get about 25-28 miles in this week and plan for the week of 26 Jul - 02 Aug to be very low mileage as the family will be in Eureka Springs, Arkansas at vocal camp.
