Today is Jack's 3rd Birthday so this is dedicated to him! I love ya buddy! In 2000, I read an article in either Self or Shape magazine. The story was about this woman from New York who, with minimal running experience signed up for and ran a marathon with Team in Training. I remember clearly …

Today’s Your Day
Today I would like to remind you that the next 33 days will be filled with temptation. You'll be tempted to eat more and move less.

I love the fall. I enjoy running on a crisp fall morning up and around Phoenix Lake (like Lisa and I did this morning).
