...three or four times a week now for a few months. I usually go during my lunch hour after bolting my food at my desk. (I work at a small college that has locker rooms and showers and a fitness center. Nice!) And I can get 30-40 minutes of actual workout time in during that lunch hour. I’m doing pretty well; trying to get a five mile run in at least once a week. So far this week, I skipped yesterday, but did 3.5 miles today. I should be able to get a run in at least three more times this week.

I’m thinking about working up to a 5 mile race that they have here in town every Father’s Day. I’ve never run in a race before, but my wife and son have been encouraging me to enter this one. Maybe…

The title says it all… one of the was pretty gross. I need to clean them more often. Maybe once a week? Maybe once every two weeks would be easier.

My son (five) threw a major fit when I asked him to practice the piano with me. (Not one of his favorite things to do.) Rather than yell back at him (which I really wanted to do!), I calmly explained to him (repeatedly) that I wanted him to spend 10 minutes with me and then he could go back to playing. Eventually he calmed down after he realized that he was wasting potential play time by stomping around.
