Happy Birthday Adam

                 I felt this good the day you were born.  
I remember 39 years ago as if it were just yesterday.  Having kids was the biggest life altering experience I have had.  I was basically terrified.  I think the first time I was really scared.  I have never gotten over that feeling of responsibility.  Nevertheless, I am proud of all my kids and would not give any of you back.  
Happy birthday to my first child.  Hope you have a great day and do something more fun than a long run.  Love dad

Richards' points...week 2!

Jason: 70 (140)
Cami: 65 (pathetic) (134)
Shelby: 70 (140)
Hannah: 70 (140)

Kids are doing great...making me proud! Jason is surprising himself with how this makes him feel, although have not quite figured out insulin schedule yet. Me...I just stink! My only defense is that I did this for 4 weeks longer than anyone else and I am stressed! (no excuse)

Bad Weather in Boise

I did another Half-Ironman in Boise, Idaho yesterday. It rained for the entire race! Poor Alyson was my best support again standing in the cold, rain and wind all day long! It was a good race for me though...took 2nd. I was 1st off the bike, but got caught at mile 8 in the run and didn't have the gas to stay with him. Pics to come!

Grandma's points

I have 64 points and I'm down to 24 oz of Diet Coke a day!
(give me a break, it's a 40 year addiction)
















And these were just the tires I used to win the bet... Joe bet me that my truck wouldn't make it up camping for Memorial Day weekend, it did! He now owes me the remainder of the year's worth of toilet paper. Probably the best bet I've ever been involved with! Anyway, now I have some brand new 37" KM2 tires on new 17" black wheels! Mom and Britt, If you want to go for a ride we'll have to find a stepping stool!! :)
