Been a while

I've been running off and on, mostly on for the past year and am gearing up for the Fiesta Bowl 1/2 Marathon followed by the PF Chang 1/2 marathon. A goal is to run the San Deigo full marathon on June 6 next summer which is my 44th birthday. I've been running with Scottsdale Running Company group runs but now our pace leader is jumping ship to go work for Runners Den. I guess it'll be me and my Garmin for a while. These posts of mine are so lame but I'll try to do better.

Post-Run Recovery Fuel:

Half of one red onion, small portion of left over red pepper, olive oil, 2 fennel and cheese chicken sausages, 3 eggs, tortillas. Heat olive oil in saute pan, add sliced onion and sliced red pepper. Saute for ten minutes or so until veggies are a bit cooked. Add sliced sausage and cook together until sausage is hot (it's pre-cooked), add eggs and scramble adding random spices and condiments from your spouse's collection. Turn off heat. Flame tortillas over stovetop flame flipping frequently with tongs until toasty and hot. Wrap egg/sausage mixture in tortillas and enjoy! Drink recommendation: water, chocolate milk.

First Sunday

Up early and tv with H. Then a walk in Dreamy Draw with family. Gorgeous and lots of people. The LGO and I had Mueseli and H had a bit. Maria tried some and hated it. Then home and more maintenance on foundation of house. Jackey and H skinny dipped in play pool in backyard. We're going to the Shaeffer's for early supper and visit. Laundry almost done. The life!!

Getting started

Today we slept a bit late. Harrison had a rough night starting at 3:30, and he stayed asleep until 6:30. Strange for him, but not strange at all for a 9 month old. We putzed around the house, I mowed the lawn, and we had our 9:30 swimming lesson. He cried a bit but did fine overall. Then I had the idea to blog this part of my life - much to the amusement of my wife Maria. We had a laugh or two as I filled out the 'interests' section. Laugh all you want, but I do want to be a rock climber! Anyway, I also want to lose 25 pounds and learn to type 'also'. The plan for losing weight and getting in shape is to walk in the morning for 30 minutes, drink more water, and eat healthful food.
