Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

5 miles this morning, somewhat sore but not too bad. 2 with Elise, 1 with Anna.

There are a couple days each winter when the weather is the perfect mix of temp, coolness and sun, and today was one of those days.

I wanted to run more but the chore backlog was too intense. That's a big question mark now. I don't know where I'm going to find the time to run higher mileage.

We've been waiting for the right age to watch The Last Airbender (cartoon, not the move of course) with our girls. Started last night, it was super fun.

Neat profile on a runner in our group, somehow they let her husband (and my lunch run partner) into the pictures too.

4 miles at lunch with Quint. I probably shouldn't have taken the time to run at all, but this week is going to be dismal with work travel.

Flew to Baltimore. Met two of my bosses for dinner, scheming. Chilly and light rain.

3 early miles on BWI loop. Light rain but nothing bad. There were a couple dirty clumps of snow here and there, which I snapped and sent back to my family in Florida as proof that winter exists.

I got back on Saturday, and continued the nonrunning tradition with another day of not running.
