5.7 Mile Run w/Stef

Love My Girls!

Here I am with a 3 year old, soon to be 4 and a 2.5 year old.  I wish that I had the words to really express how these girls bring me so much joy!  I always flip their monitor on right before I step out the door just to get a sneak-a-peak before my feet hit the pavement.  That alone just makes my run that much better and allows me to think about how blessed I truly am.


If you are a special needs parent and are looking for encouragement, please check out my wife's blog as it inspires me and brings me to tears almost every time I read it.  Grateful for my lovely wife and kiddos.

Great Day!

I started my day with a nice little 12 mile run and felt great!  When I first stepped out of my house, I was dressed for a warm run, only to realize it was COLD.  Went back in and added a layer and off I go.

Ran a different route with several new hills.  I was a bit surprised at how great I felt and could have easily taken it to another level.  Feels good to get back to having some good runs.  Seriously considering running the Atlanta Half Marathon!

After my nice 12 mile run, I had the opportunity to go see my neighbor, Christina run her very first 5k Road Race.  Congratulations C on a very nice run!  So proud of you and looking forward to running another 5k with you down at Atlantic Station next Sunday!!

What a day!!

Started my day off with a nice breakfast with my 21 month old, Jessa!  She is such a hoot!  Always smiling and knows how to make you smile.  If you are NOT a male, she will run right into your arms and chat your ear off.  If you are a man, too bad, you will not get the time of day from her.  (I have no clue as to why, but I have a small hunch). :)

After a nice breakfast, I came home with her for naptime and then headed out for a nice little 4 mile run.  It was only my 2nd run in the last six weeks.  It was a slow one, but nevertheless, a great one!  Anytime I get a run in, it is a great!

After my run, it was FAMILY  time and wowza, what a great family day!  We headed to the East Cobb Park and had  a lunch picnic, GREAT time!  We topped our evening off with yet, another picnic, but a different park.  The girls hung out with mommy while daddy hit golf balls in the park.  Of course, Jessa would retrieve daddy's golf balls every once in awhile when she wasn't too distracted.

I love my wife and my kids and I am truly grateful for each one of them!

Break....

So, it's been nearly 6 weeks since my last run, ugh!!!  Turned my ankle back on March 11.  I was not happy.  I was in the midst of a 10 miler and stepped on something as I was in the zone and whew, it did not feel good.  I had ran about 7 miles, and was 3 miles from home.  That being said, I made it home feeling pretty good, but my ankle swelled for days prompting me for a doctors visit.  Nothing major, but some tendon issues and was told to take a 6 week break. :(

I am a bit excited to say the least to hit the pavement come Thursday!!!  Running, oh running, I have missed you, greatly..........
