Grandpa Quique's 75th Birthday wish is for his whole family to be involved in some form of physical exercise that will improve their health.

We ask each one of you to keep a log of the miles you run (walk or crawl) as you participate so we can add them all up and give them to him as a gift before his race.

Learning to Enjoy the Journey

After a trip to Brazil and a week in Las Vegas for work, I had the joy of going with the Scouts on the long-term summer camp. Now I am right back where I started! I have gained weight and will have to start working on getting my intervals up to speed again.

I have decided that at some point in life, I must learn to enjoy the journey, because I keep repeating it again, and again. My workouts are no longer to break past records, now have been focused on not getting injured so I can keep working out. It used to be all about the improvements and progress, now I am thrilled if I can just get thru one more workout in one piece. Travel, work, allergies, and most of all injuries have been a serious obstacle. From what I understand it is not going to get any better with time.

Tomorrow is going to be my first day back to running, I wish I could say I looked forward to it. I much prefer Saturdays when I can run outside with Dad.
