It results in a rotund, bulbous appearance and is only cured by a nose job.. But who has that kind of money ?

They are two beautiful blue eyes that I hope your little one captured! Best of luck in those beautiful blue shoes too. Now I know why you'd look forward to cramming your poor feet into something as uncomfortable as a track spike. -- BLUE -- And that’s not a big nose.

It has been the most wonderful mix of reading I've done in a long time. I don't remember how I came across it. Probably a Google search on some running topic. I started running in April of this year at the ripe age of 45 having no running experience apart from soccer in high school. I'm now running about 20 miles a week and have raced four 5k's (sub 30:00), and a 4 miler (35:22). My wife says I'm obsessive, any runner I talk to thinks not. What intrigued me is the importance you place on your family time and how vital it is. I have a just turned 5 year old son and a 7 year old daughter. I think it's apparent I enjoy running, and I do get impatient for another weekend long run. Your writing is a reminder that our kids deserve quality time and nothing should get in it's way. Don't misunderstand, I schedule my running so as not to interfere with family events. The kids just finished baseball and swimming season and I was always there as assistant coach or volunteer. "No wet oatmeal kisses" and " Where are you goin' my little one, little one?" are posted on my desk as reminders. Thanks, Lance p.s. Having an Olympian in the same state less than 200 miles away is great. Can osmosis reach that far?? Sorry this was off topic ;) Hi Joan,
