After a slow July of training, August has been a good running month for me. I've averaged at least 2 runs a week, and I'm starting to be able to work a 3rd run into most weeks now. I'm still able to get on the bike with my daughters in the evening here and there for a bit of cross training as well. I need to start extending my runs on certain days a bit, but that will come. October will be here before I know it, and I'll be standing at the start line of a half marathon. I'm very excited since it is an inaugural event in a town I've never stayed in before. Should be a fun day. My wife will be running a 5K that day as well, and my kids will be there with the grandparents as spectators! It's going to be a great day. Strength training has been going well, working my core and upper body has helped my running, and I believe it has made me a stronger runner.
Work is still busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope this continues.
Girls are doing great. Birthdays coming up, they will both be moving to a new classroom at daycare, and my oldest daughter will be starting swim lessons next month. I just don't think there can be a more rewarding experience in life than being a parent. That big smile first thing in the morning to start your day, a big hug when you pick them up, and just the energy and joy of being around them. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Have a great day!
