I had a nice 5-miler last, averaging about a 9:40 mile. The IT issue is coming back up, but I plan on rehabbing it aggressively and working on a better running posture.
Tonight I tore through the Men’s Health Spartacus workout. And yeah, at the end I did want to yell, “This is SPARTA!”
I’m slowly seeing changes; gradual and steady, but they are there. This weekend I’m planning an 80 minute run and a 30 minute run. I’m logging my runs based on time, not miles. This is because of one of the races I’m planning on doing this year. More on that Sunday.
I do have goals for this year. Lofty ones. But I’m working on staying consistent in my training, and Mrs. Fitness Geek and I are working hard to eat better too. All of this should lead to success. Should.
Lil’ Geek is feeling better and has become more beautiful with each passing minute.
Tomorrow will be an easy day of no exercise before the big weekend.
I’m really looking forward to Saturday’s run. It’ll be a rain or shine run, something another run suggested. Personally, I’m hoping for shine.

What a week. On Monday our living room ceiling became our living room floor. Literally.
A quarter of the ceiling had water damage which was going to be fixed on Wednesday. But the ceiling didn’t wait and instead fell into the living room.
Luckily, our contractor came by and fixed it up Tuesday. The roof repairs are scheduled for Monday. One crisis averted.
On Thursday Lil Geek was diagnosed with RSV. Not serious for a one-year-old. But for a two-month old, it can be very serious.
So Lil’ Geek celebrated her two month birthday with a trip to the doctor and then a visit to immediate care. To say she was thrilled would be a bit of an overstatement. We went home with a brand new nebulizer (a breathing machine to the layperson) and hooked it up.
Here’s Lil’ Geek as a dinosaur…
She was a real trooper. She slept through several of the treatments, but it broke my heart to see her like that. Knowing she wasn’t feeling good made my soul ache. But I also know the medicine was helping her, so I was glad to see her as a dinosaur. Even if she was the angriest dinosaur.
It seems she’s starting to feel better, and we’re hoping she is going to be back to her normal self soon: a little girl that has a smile that lights up the world and who can’t get enough of her parents.
Feel better soon Lil’ Geek. We love you.

Lil’ Geek turns the big 02 (months) today. She’s changed so much in the last 30 days.
She sleeps through the night.
She smiles when she’s happy…not just when she’s ummm, conducting business.
She snores. There is no cuter sound.
She recognizes me and Mrs. Fitness Geek and laughs when we tickle her.
She is more beautiful.
Happy two months, lil’ one. Keep growing. You’re about nine pounds now and packin’ on the ounces with every bottle.
As for me, I’m finally back into a routine of some sort that includes work, running, lifting weights, spending time with Mrs. Fitness Geek and hanging out with Lil’ Geek. What more could a guy ask for? I’m going to start blogging more regularly. Up until now, it was just a matter of finding time to do it…
