A Passion for Running

I had a rather crappy 45 minute run with Aaron tonight. The company was fine – I just felt like crap the whole way. It seems I’m fighting a cold.

To the title of tonight’s post: I played pull my finger with Christopher tonight. It was the first time we’d done that and I’m kind of surprised I hadn’t thought of it before. I must be slipping. Anyway, Christopher loved it so much I felt a bit inadequate when I could only respond to the finger pulling three times. He giggled and giggled and giggled and damn near pulled my finger off trying to get a fourth response out of daddy. I guess I’ll have to eat some beans or something tomorrow. Still, he went to bed smiling so it wasn’t a total loss.

The wife and daughter were not amused. It’s usually when I post something like this when I check my logs and notice I had a visitor from that Forbes thing. I’m sure those Forbes readers really appreciate coming here to see this kind of thing after reading A Passion for Running was a “best” kind of place to come to. It appears I’ve sunken to a new low on this blog.

That said, it’s GREAT to be a guy!

I was tired following yesterday’s run but got out there nonetheless because it was too beautiful not to run.

So, 40 minutes today in my bare feet and I have a new record for the number of strange looks i’ve gotten during a barefoot run – eight.

The boy is finally potty training and I have never been happier. I’m sure you are ecstatic for me especially if you’ve gone through this. I tell ya, when your child learns to do #2 in the toilet, the world is a much better place.

Rock on Christopher. Love,
Daddy

Jon and Dawn asked to see some drunk wedding pictures. I don’t have any of those yet but I do have a photo the minister took of me and my daughter. As soon as I saw it, I loved it. It’s my favorite picture of her and I in the whole wide world. *sniff*

Yesterday, Aaron and I hooked up for two miles. We were both too exhausted from the weekend to go any further. I seriously could have done that run in my sleep! Today, I am feeling rested and will go for 7 or 8k.
