I love that Jack is getting into sports. Right now he can't get enough basketball. - Jan 22, 11
Today was a lovely day to spend time with the family at the Umlauf Sculpture Gardens. The weather superb and the sculptures inspirational.
I highly recommend visiting these Gardens for your next family outing.

I had a great afternoon with my boys yesterday. First, Jack and I went to the store to get him a new pair of shoes, he is just growing so fast. Then, when Jack and I got home, the 3 of us Jack, Aiden and I walked over to the neighborhood park.When Jack and I were driving back from the shoe store we pulled over next to a hay field near our house and took this wonderful photo of Jack. Jack is so accomodating with my photo whims
At the park we all ran up and down the hilly embankment and kicked around the soccer ball. I really enjoy these little moments.

Great weekend mini-vacation with my better half. Thank God for my parents watching the kids.We started with dinner at Moonshine and a night at the Courtyard Marriott. We woke up early and strolled around Downtown Austin, coffee at The Hideout.
Great conversation and downtime.

I come home on Thursdays. Coming home starts with a 25 minute train ride to the airport, then a 6 hour flight to Austin by way of Nashville, then a 40 minute drive home.It takes a while to get home, but it is always nice to see my family again.
I think i'll fly back to Philly on Sunday and do it all again.

I joined in with the Runtex Morning W. and I'm glad I did. It was nice to see Mick S., Joe R., Rob C., Erin R. and meet Holly. We warmed up to Southwestern and ran a progressive tempo on a 1.2 mile loop around Campus. I did four loops (9:10, 8:24, 8:05, 7:24), my pace flowed like this >> 7:38, 7:00, 6:44, 6:10. It felt good.

Went out for a little quicker running with the No Excuses group. 2k warm-up, 8 x 400 (average 78), 2k cool down, stretch. I felt good until the 8th quarter, for some reason that was my threshold tonight. It was so great to see everyone from the group!

Just trying to get back into the stroke of things. I think I'm going to start back up with the Aquatics of Georgetown Masters Swim group, but I want to get in a couple of more swims before I let them beat up on me.
This mornings swim was good, I think my stroke is needing a little work though.

I ran out from Camp Tejas this morning. It was dark when I started, ran with a headlamp, owls were awake and hooting. Beautiful as the sun came up over the meadow, light fog. Each blink brought out more color, deep greens and muted browns. It was a nice and relaxed run, I was little sore though.

I ran the Austin Half as a long run. The plan was to go out slow and gradually pick up the pace, but I ended up going out a little too fast. It was good though, and I got to see a lot of old friends. I did pick up a few blisters, I think it's time for new shoes.

Another great weather day for a run. Got the kids off to school and thought I would fit in a short run. I felt relaxed, smooth and fluid. My pace was easier than I would have expected it to be. I'm excited to run the Cupid's Chase 5K this weekend, if I'm lucky maybe I'll break 20 minutes.

Ok, I think I'm ready to kick it back into gear with my running. The plan is to race back into shape, and pickup a few quality workout along the way.
This mornings run was a nice negative split kind of run (7:21, 6:59, 6:19) with a little extra tacked on the end. Weather was a little windy but the temperature felt good, once I got going the weather felt great. Beautiful day!
