evening misty run

Went for a nice misty run last night in a constant very light mist. I used a very good pace during the run and even did some interval circuits in there as well. I was a little worried about the cold at first but the temperature was perfect. So nice to get a run in to start the week off, especially this week being a holiday week with traveling in the plans for the end of the week. I am planning on getting a run in this weekend up in the mountains in the cold. I am so excited that we are going to celebrate the holidays with my family in the mountains, I can't wait.This will be the first holiday spent with my family for my beautiful wife and big boy son.

Love and hug your loved ones every chance you get. Live everyday to the fullest.

run and christmas time

I did get a good run in on saturday morning, little chilly but warmed up nice on the return trip home. I was bundled up though as the worst part was the wind, so I wore my 180 degree ear warmers which worked perfectly. I took them off at the turn around point as well as my gloves. I was out the door at 7:30 in the morning as I had plenty of stuff that I needed to do the whole day. Was very nice to get the 5 mile run done even though I was completely exhausted later in the day, but I did do some pressure washing and christmas light set-up.

We put our christmas tree up saturday night (I put it up) and was in the process of rearranging the furniture when I either kicked a chair or put it on my toes, but anyways I was on the floor in extreme pain with the beautiful wife and big boy son looking at me, the beautiful wife was laughing her butt off and the big boy asked "Is daddy turning evil?" and the wife lost it at that point. Good times and the toes are ok, still hurt though.

HBBC starts today and I am hoping to get some good points in. I love this kind of challenge especially during this time of year. The team part is new but this could help motivate even more.

no run tonight

I had full intentions of getting a run in this evening, but it sounds like I need to put that aside. The beautiful wife needs to get some rest as the baby angel growing inside her needs some rest. No worries though. I will get some runs in this weekend for sure. I think I need to get some plans together for a long run in the future, maybe even sign up for a race. Taking care of the beautiful wife and big boy son is top priority and then getting the things done for the holiday is next.

Love and hug your loved ones every chance you get. Live everyday to the fullest.

resuming runs

I enjoyed a very nice evening run last night with comfortable temperature and perfect conditions. I did 4 miles at a good 9ish pace the whole run. Following a difficult run from saturday, I'll take anything at this point. Hoping to keep at this consistency for a little while with sicknesses and other issues behind us for the remainder of the season. Pregnancy is going very well even though there is lots of discomfort already. I think we all are looking forward to this time frame being behind us, and we are so excited for baby angel to be with us. Next week is Thanksgiving and we are going to parents mountain house with several others of my family which I am so excited about. This will be the first holiday that we will be spending with my family since I have been with my wife. Excitement can't fully express my true feelings.

Love and hug your loved ones every chance you get. Live everyday to the fullest.

wanting to run

No weekend run or a run during the week yet for me and I am going a little crazy. I wanted to get everything done this weekend as well as a run, nothing got done and no runs. No work today for veterans day but major nasty weather all day and the big boy wanted to stay and hang with me so no complaint there. Hope everyone else is getting good runs in and enjoying it.

Love and hug your loved ones every chance you get. Live everyday to the fullest.
