opportunity

cal had his one year appointment yesterday (and the five shots that come with that). we were anticipating a rough night (in the past he has spiked a fever) but he was happy as ever. the doc said we should stop baby food and he should be eating what we are eating...we thought, yea right. then, last night he joined us for dinner including tyme crusted fish (i'm still working on my coffee and at the moment can't remember what type of fish). it was amazing...he listened to his doctor! anyway, 31 inches (82nd percentile) long and 24 lbs. our little guy is becoming a boy.

i managed to get out and run for 30 minutes last night. then, we followed that up with the chest/back and abripper workouts. i made an effort to really push last night and i'm feeling a little 'noodly' this morning. i really want to come out of this stronger/more balanced. 15 days in and while i can't say i see much of a difference in how my body looks, i can do more reps of the exercises already so that is progress.

on thursday i'm heading to maryland with my very good friend pat to act as crew during his running of the jfk 50 miler. i'm very excited to get away and i'm very excited to support/hang out with pat. i would be lying if i didn't say i was a little sad to be leaving my family behind. i'm going to miss robin/cal very much...this will be the first time i've been away from cal for longer than a night here or there.

happy tuesday.
