Long May You Run

Today got off to an auspicious start, I ran my first ever 5k today.

That is a misleading statement, as a college pitcher I had to run three or four miles at least three days a week as any pitcher on our staff can attest. I am no stranger to the distance, but this is the first organized event I've ever attempted.

After it was over I was tempted to change my e-mail to omgi'mslow@turtlepace.org
I got eaten alive by a big hill, and beaten by a 70 year old man. My self esteem is soaring.
Somehow I finished third in my age group(there must have only been two other people).

But all in all it was a good time, families out together, people having a good time, and I got to talk to some very nice people I haven't seen in quite some time.

My wonderful wife also got home from a three day soccer excursion today, so it was a good one+ braves win.
Harper and I got into a stare down contest tonight we both ended up laughing historically, she was making funny faces then we started mimicking each other. if you have never heard a toddler laugh until they pee go find one and start tickling it you will feel better about life.

ask the parents permission though, some people are so touchy...
