A nice way to start Fathers Day. Great weather for running.  I ran the 3.5m JP Morgan Corporate Challenge last Wednesday night along part of the same route. I went off far too quick (for me!) and paid for it. So today, decided to just run relaxed, not pushing at all. And could have run on and on. This will be important as the distances get longer.


The fun part of today was the kids races. To see them running, and so happy to get a medal at the end, was priceless. Hopefully we can instill a lifelong love of exercise, in any form, at an early age.
