Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Round and Round the oval again, following the path of millions of invisible footprints.  This was actually a good workout today, felt great.  Did 1/2 mile walking warmup, 3 mile run.  Slow and steady for the most part, kicked in for a fast last half mile just for fun.  10 minutes on the lateral machine and it kicked my butt, literally.  Still have my core work to look forward to, yeah for me.

Thanks, I wish I was in good shape. Unfortunately the opposite is true. My winter training schedule did not go according to plan and my diet was a complete fail. Oh well, heres to starting over and hopefully learning from my mistakes. :)
