The Ultimate Compliment from your Sibling

Over the Christmas Holidays (delayed in posts, but will be catching up soon) Pierce, you said something that was an honor to your sister, even though it is of course not possible, and she was not happy to hear your statement.

When I Grow Up I want to Marry SissyDisney Xmas 2014

Of course this is not possible, of course this may, and will most likely change in the future, of course your sister said “YUCK … No Way!”

The implications of your statement were respect, honor, and maybe somewhat idolization. As your father (speaking for mom too) I hope you both share respect for each other throughout your lives. A great relationship that will hopefully carry on long after we are gone will be very helpful as you travel through the many curves and slopes of life.

Dad … and Mom too !

 

Sophia and Pierce … Your growing fast … I remember When!

Some day you will look back on these posts with more appreciation. I remember all too clearly making fun of MY mom and dad when they would say “I remember when!”

Well that pointed finger sure has three pointing back at me now.

It seems like only yesterday you guys were:

Dragons 4 Hour Marathon Sword Returned to her

Fort Worth Marathon

Dragon Reclaims 4 hour Sword (Marathon)

At the half way point (2 hours flat), I was firmly in control. Near mile 16 as the temperature began to have a 7 in front of it, 45 at start, the nice dragon grabbed the 4 hour sword and proclaimed it hers.

We wrestled until mile 23, at which time I relinquished the 4 hour sword to her in order to focus on my body parts that felt as if they were coming off   (legs, thighs, calf, several toes now without nails.) All good and very rewarding !

 After a 4:06, the sword is hers…. for now ! 

Have a great rest of the weekend.

John AKA lactic acid legs !

PS A common occurrence, my name was misspelled “Krale” … all good, and not unusual.

Radio Show a Success … First Marathon of the season tomorrow …

All yea listeners, thanks a bunch.

The afore mentioned radio show post went terrifically. Next time a monitor for my heart beat and blood pressure would be interesting.

Marathon Time

Tomorrow, in Fort Worth Texas I hope to put the first of 3-4 fall/winter marathons under my belt. Long runs have been a bit elusive due to time constraints.

Anything under 4 on this one will be considered a winner !

Fort Worth Marathon

Have a great weekend to all !

Run like the wind !

Halloween and Marathon Training

With the Mrs. favorite party day being Halloween, I thought a picture of the festivities my be neat.

2014 Halloween

Most chattie Mime ever!

This weekend lent itself to a cooler sixteen mile run in preparation for the annual Fort Worth Marathon, run like a cheetah, next weekend.

Last year a 3:55 was carded, but while the miles are greater, longer runs have been absent this training season due to a packed schedule.

Good luck fellow marathoners as the coolness sets in, the season begins!
