First timer

I took Sophie on a run this morning.  It’s not her first time running, but the first that’s timed with the Forerunner 305 GPS watch.  During the run she said “daddy, I don’t have a watch like you”.  So I told her when I can afford the next model, she can wear this one.  Here are the stats: 0.39 miles at her own pace of 21:52 min/mile (Not bad considering almost half was uphill!) In a couple of years, she might win her division at the upcoming Wharf to Wharf (www.wharftowharf.com).

4th of July Bash

Families that came to our 4th of July Celebration (thanks Anoop for taking the pictures!)  Afterwards, we went to see fireworks a mile away at the Sharon Heights Country Club.  Sophie was scared, but I did convince her to peek at the last few minutes of it.

Reconnect

One of the cool things about business travel is the opportunity to get out of the hotel and see some old friends.  I met up with Lindsay, whom I have not seen in ages!  Now she’s got a lovely husband Jonathan and and adorable daughter Avery.  She took me on a run in her neighborhood up some trails to see some breathtaking views of Phoenix, then treated me to an awesome home cooked meal.AZ view
