This may be part of an early mid-life crisis for me, but as I’ve mentioned before, we’ve both been doing a lot more exercise. I’m at the gym usually 2-3 days a week, Scott’s going almost every day, and on the weekends, we play tennis (badly on my end, but still having fun).

Our big adventure last weekend was running in a 5K race (a fundraiser for our local domestic violence group). We were both pretty out of practice – I ran in my first and last 5K almost four years ago in Orlando. I did stop to walk a couple of times, but I think it’s because I didn’t pace myself very well, because I still finished in a decent time (just under 29 minutes), and Scott finished a couple of minutes ahead of me. We both placed in the middle of our age groups.

We’ve got another race planned in a couple of weeks. Scott’s thinking about trying the 10K. I’m sticking with 5 until I can run it straight through.

I’m heading home to Illinois tomorrow for the long weekend – looking forward to some quality family time. (See you soon, Dad!)
