Good at Exercise
Whenever I walk in from a run, race or not, the three-year old asks me if I won. I of course always tell him that I did. Coming home from this weekends half marathon was no exception. He was barely awake from a nap and he wanted to know if I won. He is in…

Well That Explains It
It seems I have Fifth’s disease. That explains how I have been feeling. It also explains the red face the three year-old was sent home with. We assumed it was heat rash or sunburn. It has been going around the neighborhood and I have been around plenty of people who have had it. The unfortunate…
Time Out
My body and I have been at odds with each other, today I gave myself a time out. The last month or so I have been feeling really run down. I have been even been falling asleep on the ‘L’ ride both to and from work. I have not done that in probably 15 years….
