Ever have one of those moments in life that make you really think about who you are? Well, awhile back, the kids and I were outside playing around and I decided to run after them. The kids thought that the fact that I was actually running was so fantastic that they hollered out to Ammye, "look mom, dad's running!!" Now this was funny at the time, but I started to think, "hey man maybe I should, you know, start exercising and possibly run occasionally too. It's not that I don't like to run or that I even think running is remotely evil, I just choose to walk or meander to wherever I may be going. So, I have decided to change things for my health and the sake of my children's mental well being (thinking that when I run it is a really special event). So, now Harrison and I are running/walking 2 miles a day. Ok, we are walking/running 2 miles a day, but hey you have to start somewhere huh? Never again will I hear those words, "look ma, dad's running !!"

I prefer to sachet. You will also hear when you're kids hit the 14 or 15 year old mark, "Oh no, Dad's dancing."
Back when I was jogging on a regular basis in Houston, Eli (4 at the time) would sometimes want to go with me. I got a lot of smiles in the neighborhood with a small African American kid keeping pace with me. It was a blast.
