Fatherhood

It has been forever since my last post, well not exactly forever but more than two years. The biggest event in my life has been the birth of my daughter Terra. It is definitely the best thing that ever happened to me, but it was quite an adventure. The short story is that she was born 3 and a half months early and was of course very tiny. When she was born she was 286 grams. At the time she was born she was the 8th smallest baby in the world. I think she has been demoted to number nine at the moment but we are so proud that she has come so far. Anyway she spent six months in the hospital but now two years late is doing quite well. We were totally blessed and are incredibly grateful that she avoided many of the terrible things that could have happened. But now she is very healthy and strong and very opinionated. The point of this blog is/was to talk about running but of course with her in my life running has taken a back seat or a seat farther toward the back. I am still managing to run but have cut back to once a day. I have made some big changes in my running life and will talk about them in the next post.
