Day 3,646 —Happy Birthday Felix!—

It is hard to believe, but my son turned one today! I remember last year, at this time, running the Go ST. Louis Marathon the weekend before he was due. We started off in the hospital on Monday, and he was born within 12 hours. He is close to walking now and frequently stands up on his own. He had some watermelon today for the first time and loved it.

I finished this run before my family came to my house, and my watch died while I was running. I was curious what it would do, and I didn’t get any kind of warning; it just died, but it saved my run before it did, which is nice. I started my run with a 4 percent battery, so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised it didn’t last, but for some reason, I expected more.
