Personal:

I am a 37 year old Male.  I have been married now for over 15 years.  I have three kids, all boys.  My boys ages are 14, 11 and 7.  I have always enjoyed running and my wife is slowly being converted.   While I was going through college I didn't do much running so I am having to teach my leg how to run fast again.

5 miles not timed.  I have my house up for sale.  On monday I got an offer, I countered but they rejected me counter.  I want to move closer to Hill Air force base, but I am not going to give my house away.

6 miles in 53:30 a 8:56 average.  I just ran easy.  I was told the people that put an offer on my house had until 6:00pm Tuesday to respond.  It turned out they had until 6:00 on  Wed to respond.  They accepted our counter.   I didn't think I would be able to sell my house in 14 day, so now I have to work fast in determining what to do.  We have a bid on a house, but it is a short sale and the bank has not accepted the offer yet.  I am just wondering what to do.  I am trying to move close to Hill Airforce base.

4.5 miles.  I was planning on running 12 miles then I got to about 3 miles and there was a small 5K race.  I decide to run the race.  I run back home and let my wife know.  I get to the race and sign up, I then step to a jug of what I think is a sports drink and take one swallow.  I know it is not a sports drink.  It takes me a few minutes to try to determine what is in the drink.  It has orange juice in it.  I am allergic to oranges.  I demand my money back and go home.
