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.

these 4 miles are interesting miles.  Monday morning I went to start my truck to drive to catch the van pool.  My truck doesn't start.   So get in the car hoping that I don't get left by the van.  I get to the parking lot to see the van pull away.  If I would of been in my truck they would of stopped, but they weren't looking for my car.  So I drive to work leaving my wife without a car, sorry.  I get home from work and start working on the truck.  I discover I have a plugged fuel filter.  By the time I get the new fuel filter my wife need to go to a class so she takes the car.  I would of dropped her off, but I thought I found the problem so I would have the truck going in a few minutes.  Long sorry short the truck still doesn't work.  I think the fuel pump is burned out also.   Any way I need to take Jordan up to shopKo to get his glasses fixed.  ShopKo is about a mile from my house so I have Jordan ride his bike and I push the running stroller with my youngest in.  We get about 100 yards from shopKo and realized we left the Broken glasses at the house so we turned around and went and got the glasses and came back.  At least ShopKo could fix the glasses.  I run home. 

On the way back the first time I raced Jordan home.  It was close the first time.  On the second time back home Jordan made sure it wasn't even close.  My legs are tired from pushing the 40 pound kid in the stroller, plus the 2 block sprint at the end.
