This week has been an interesting week for me, yet another good week! I was able to get most of my runs in, but due to a BIG surprise from my wife, I was unable to get my 2.5 hour run in on Saturday. That being said, I was able to do a 1.5 hour run on Sunday. So, the week wasn't totally a loss due to me not running the 2.5 hour run.
On Friday, my wife informed me that I was not going to be able to run on Saturday morning due to plans that she had made for me. I must say, it bothered me at first and I told her no way. She told me that I could still run, but I needed to be home by 7:30. I thought OK, thats cool, I will just get up and run at 5 a.m. Seeing that we went out on Friday night and did not get home to late, I realized there was no way that I could get up and go for a run at 5 a.m. So, what was the surprise? Well, my birthday is coming up on Thursday of this week(27th) and lo and behold, my wife had planned a surprise for me. First, we both went to breakfast and then I had to get in the car and let Sabrina blind-fold me. I stayed blind-folded for what it seems at least 3 hours. We took a trip and by the time we had arrived at our destination, I was ready to get that blind-fold off. To my surprise, Sabrina and my brother and sister-in-law had planned a night at a lake house! Wow, what a nice lake house! My brother's 5 children were there and man, we had a blast! Thanks Sweetie for a GREAT weekend!

I was planning to do about 16 miles on Sunday, but man, it was hotter than I thought when I started, so I settled for a 10miler. I have definitely got to catch up with my training, but I am going to take my time catching up. The last thing I need is to get injured. A good week for the most part!
KEEP RUNNING!!

Nothing beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
