Its a Me Time With My Kids

We recently took a day trip to Trillium Lake near Mount Hood and hiked the two-mile nature trail with our kids. It's great to be active and healthy and spend time outdoors

Every year my boys look forward to charging down the trail in an annual family fun run hosted by the local athletic club. Future marathon runners in training.

 

I ran my first marathon almost 20 years ago, and I've been putting one foot in front of the other ever since. Pretty crazy when you consider the fact that I grew up in a house with two obese parents and ate a lot of junk food. In this picture, I'm about 30 miles from the finish line of the Cascade Crest 100-Mile Endurance Run east of Seattle, Washington.
