I run about twice a week, three times if it’s leading up to an organized run (TC10K or something similar), which I don’t do that often. I don’t run as often as I would like considering how much I enjoy it. I rationalize not running by telling myself that the […]
I have good reason to feel grateful and blessed to be a father and to have two wonderful, healthy children, and I do. Then every year around this time my family (children and wife) remind me again just how very fortunate I really am.

So happy […]
