My daughter, Megan has officially moved into an apartment at the University of North Texas. This is her first time away from home, and it's a little scary, but, we're excited for her. She's only about 45 miles away, so it's not so bad. She's already texted my wife 20 time today - asking advice on everything from cooking to cleaning. She'll do fine. Maybe it's time to move my office from "The Shed" to her old bedroom??? 

Soccer practices start on Thursday. I'll be coaching 6 and 7 yearold boys (mine are on the team). I'll be attending a coaches clinic on Saturday. I really want these boys to get the most out of their experience -- and I want to be the coolest coach ever (now, if I only knew something about soccer..and coaching soccer...hmm) 

Ty wasn't able to ride today, so I skipped my weekly ride to the lake. That's OK, I got a lot of much-needed yard work, maintenance, and cleanup done around the old farm.

Ran w/ Darin and Mike before work. Ran 5.5, then walked for another .7 (there's only one shower at work, and the slowest guy goes last...so I walked for a while)

Achilles felt OK. Not great, but OK.
