Tuesday’s Workout

Forever My Princess

In a way I am a king, I have 4 princesses
The each brought me so much joy the days they were born
Each little princess so unique and special in their own way
Yet, they were all the same in this— each one had a key to my heart
With a smile, a joke , or a famous line they entertained their dad
They would correct my mispeakings, laugh when I had food on my face, or if my pantleg was up
Though imperfect and struggling with their issues including a divorce that struck them all at such a young age
Their struggles and imperfections just made me love them more
At times it seemed as if they were trying to run away from my love
But little did they know that while you can run from love you cannot erase love
Love is a sacrifice that although spurned, cannot be earned , because love is freely given expecting nothing but hoping for everything 

Late but On Time

I woke up later, and got out the door later and still managed to get home around the same time. I did the Raynor/Ridge/Randall/Kastal Loop doing 9.05 miles in 1:52:52 for a 12:28 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 168 feet with an average pulse of 118 bpm at a temperature of 64 degrees at a foggy 100 percent humidity.  Writing this at home as I’m heading to work later due to a professional development. Have a most blessed day!
