Well, since my last post my life has been crazy. But in a good way. I now have a son -- Cruz who was born on April 27 -- to go along with my now 2-year-old daughter Emma. And I've started to coach the Henry County cross-country and track teams as an assistant. It's been a blast. I've been busy, busy, busy.
For some reason, I thought about this blog and decided to come back to it. (It took me about a million guesses to finally remember my password!) So, as for running, the intent of starting this blog, I signed up for the Louisville Marathon on April 24 and then will shift my attention to getting ready for the Louisville Ironman, which I have also signed up for and is on Aug. 29. Also, I'm putting on a 24-hour race in Eminence, the Highlands Renaissance 24-Hour Race, on March 13-14 and I plan on competing in the Papa John's 10-Miler on April 3 as a tune-up race for the marathon.
I will hopefully use this blog as a training log of sorts, and not neglect it like I've been known to do. I'm ready to get back on the roads again, and I'll let you know how it goes.
My daughter Emma
This is me holding my daughter Emma Lee a couple of days after she was born May 8, 2007.
Emma
Here is an updated picture of Emma at around 14 months, and let me tell you that she's already a runner. A couple of months ago, she ran 20 10-meter hill repeats. I had nothing to do with this: she ran to the top of the hill towards her toys, then turned around and walked back down. Of course, I counted the repeats and timed her. I was impressed.
Relay For Life Marathon
Here's me (blue top) with Todd Heady and my wife Sandra during the marathon I ran on the track during the Henry County Relay For Life in 2004 to raise money. I started out at 8-minute-per-mile, picked up my pace and finished in 3:17:33 for the 105 laps.
Biking to Florida
Here's me on my solo 1,200-mile bike ride from Kentucky to Florida in July, 2005. I averaged almost 150 miles per day.
Running across Kentucky
Here's me during my solo 220-mile run from Indiana to Tennessee in July, 2006. I averaged about 40 miles per day.
