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.

Well, I was hoping for another mile or so for this week's long run but my legs are definitely telling me that I need to build up slowly. I will agree with them and be satisfied with a total of 5.0 miles.

I was in Duncan Oklahoma for my run while Kristoffer played some percussion for a Presbyterian Palm Sunday service. Very nice running through some of the older neighborhoods there.

A 2.55 mile run while Kristoffer was in his dance lesson. Once I got through the first 2 miles I was able to run the last 0.55 at a better pace.

A very short run while waiting on rehearsals for My Fair Lady tonight. Picked up the pace a bit since I knew it was going to be a brief workout. Everything seemed to work well together. No increase in heel pain.

Another 2.00 slow miles for the week. I will try to add another 1 or 2 to the weekly total starting with tomorrow's long run. Woo hoo.
