A pace, party, and passport

Since last spring, I have tried to do a long run each weekend.  Unless training for the marathon, I typically kept this run at 10 miles.  I just completed my first 10 mile run of 2011.  It was very windy and cold, but manageable.  The wind really kicked down some of my pace, but I can't complain.



Tonight we are going out to celebrate my dad's birthday.  Emma has made various crafts for the event and spent most of the morning asking, "When are we going to see Papa?'

In other news, we applied for passport cards for our girls today.  This summer we want to make it out to Toronto.

I used some of the birthday and Christmas money I had been saving up to get a GPS/heart rate monitor to run with. Got it today and took it for a spin. The stats you can bring up are very cool. Thus proving I am a data nerd.

Emma's is trying to jump start her cross country career in our basement. At the end of the day, can any of us say we have this much energy? Enjoy the video.
