Day off. After 21 days on, I had a day coming to me this week or next, but today wasn't the planned day; it's just how it turned out. Went to bed late, got up late, and scrambled to get work done before heading to campus. When I got home, it was time for me to make dinner. After my last rest day 3 weeks ago, I found that it left me feeling if not fresh then at least not dead.

Legs feel pretty good today, but I can tell I ran pretty hard. The photo also suggests I was working harder than I thought: #raceface

Days off aren't so bad once in a while. ;)

The raceface is awesome! I like the earlier picture where you're about to mow over that little girl trying to beat you off the line.

Hahaha. Yeah. Glad you caught that. She jumped in front of me right as they were yelling "go!" I wasn't too happy. She obviously didn't slow me down, but it's very dangerous.

That could've been ugly. :) I've never seen a little one get that close to the front. I better make sure I train my kids on that.

I count 4 chins; married life is treating you good - real good:)

I'm scrunching my neck! My jawline looks like Don Draper when I'm not in #raceugly mode.
