As part of my “Old School” post from Wednesday, regarding stamina versus speed, I wanted to include a link to something I remember reading on Beck’s old site. However, I couldn’t find the link. Essentially, he talked about thinking back to the time when you were running your most mileage. Then he asks “Why did you stop there?” Yesterday I found a link to the article on Brian’s Blog. It’s a great read and a great example of why I enjoy Beck’s writing so much.
Last night I was doing some sit ups (crunches) while the girls were watching a movie. After a set I was lying there resting when I had this conversation with my (nearly) 5-year old;
Kinsey: “What are you doing dad?”
Me: “Sit ups.”
Kinsey: “Sit ups are ‘up and down.’ Why are you lying there?”
Me: “I’m resting.”
Kinsey: “Why do you need to rest?”
Me: “Well my muscles get tired after awhile and I need a break.”
That seemed to satisfy her curiosity.
Finally, I have some "pretty" graphs that I thought would post, but I’m not sure how to get them from excel to my blog. Any experts out there?

Congrats on reaching 100! I love that nike commercial by the way - truly motivating.
kids are so great! How cute!
Print Screen work well on a PC. If you're on a Mac, Apple-Shift-4 and then you can take a photo of the selected part of the screen.
Wait to they get older. Here's how my conversations go.
Brad(11): "How far you goin' Dad."
Dad(44): "Ten."
Brad: "That's all?"
Emily(9): "Dad, do you like running."
Dad: "Not always."
Emily: "Then why do you do it."
Dad: "Because someone else who doesn't like running today won't."
Emily: "Huh?"
Dad: "Exactly."
Thanks guys.
Double, it looks like when they get older you can get "tagged teamed." Right now I just have to worry about Kinsey. But it won't be long before Katie joins the fun.
Oh Elizabeth, those fingers coming out of your neck on your new photo are creepy.
