congrats Brandon, beautiful little girl. My little girl is 7 months old now, be ready, the time just flies. Best feeling in the world is being a Dad:)
Absolutely beautiful picture, so happy for you and your new family! Congratulations!
[...] hearing my latest podcast episode, whereupon I hopped up on my soapbox, a listener found this hilarious video on YouTube. I feel I [...]
Soapbox: AMEN!
Thanks Jay! Next week might get more specific as the horses ass in question is really pushing his boundaries.
Congrats to you and your wife for your beautiful daughter! Well done!
I agree 100% with you, on your soapbox. Its sad that anyone could write something so mean spirited. Thank you for standing up to it…and for being a voice for the rest of us who love running and love every runner. I can’t imagine having such a pretentious attitude. When I cross the finish line at my next race (Boston, on 4/19), it will be with arms raised!
I had to catch up on your podcasts and listened to this one this morning at 5am on my way to a 15k race. I LOVED your “birth report”, thank you so much for sharing so much detail. I truly felt like I was listening to a story. By the time I got to my race location to meet my friends, I was all red from crying!!! As you said, your wife Danielle is truly amazing. I don’t have children, but my hat is off to those women who have. I was able to watch my sister deliver my nephew and that was truly a life changing experience.
I’m so happy to know Mommy and Baby are both doing well, and I love Sydney’s name, and she is just beautiful! Thanks again for sharing!
Today’s Race Report:
Last January, I set out to lose weight, about 30 lbs. I was size 14 and hating it. So I decided to start running again (hadn’t really run since 1996). I set my first sights to do a 15k, since that was the last race I did in 1996. So Feb. 2009, I did the 15k in 1:51.
While I’ve done other races since then (5k, half & full marathon), I had not done a 15k since, so my goal was to beat that time from last year, which I felt confident about.
The race was the IronGirl 15 at Clearwater Beach. There’s a huge bridge that we had to run over, and being in FL we don’t have many hills, so I hadn’t trained for this. Weather was beautiful!
Well I finished in 1:31 so I smashed my previous 5k time and now wear a comfortable size 4!
Just had to share! Thanks for continuing to do such great podcasts, and I hope to listen live again soon! – Tia
