Today marks another milestone in the consecutive exercise streak: Day #4000! In less than a week, I will have completed year 11, and moving onto year 12 of not missing a day of exercise. A lot of different things have gone on over all of these years that could have created a lapse in this record. But as I have said many times, it would have just been another excuse otherwise. Again, I don’t know how long this will go, but it will keep going as long as I have a say in it.
Over the years a lot of people have helped me in my consecutive day quest, and you have seen many pictures of them over the years, but a huge shout out goes to all of them as well to help keep me going. Hopefully, I help keep you going too!

But today, there is more for me to be jumping up and down with, and celebrating. My twin daughters, Molly and Megan, also turn 24 on this milestone day! Now that to me is what is really worth celebrating! With Megan living yet in Virginia, I don’t get to see her as often as I would like, but we talk multiple times a week, and text daily. Molly I get to see more often, but I am gone this weekend, so I could not celebrate her birthday with her. I am definitely thinking of you both, and will make up for it again the next time I see you both!
This is when they were 6 months old! A lot has changed since then. I love them and care about them even more now. I will always be their Dad! I love spending time with them. When all 3 kids were home the first week in August it was wonderful. I hope we have many more times like that.
Even many things have changed since you graduated from High School. The one thing that has not changed is how much we care about you! I hope they always remember that too! Sarah and I have tried instilling the right way to do things as they have grown up. We have always been very vocal on staying active. We love running with them! And Megan, we are going to start working on our swimming within this next month, so there may be some joint swim time to spend with you on this also! But the person who has helped me the most with my consecutive exercise streak, and my life in general, is Sarah!
We run together, spend time together, work together…be together. I love you and thank you for everything you do and have done for us, and our family. The competitive nature does not quit over time either. We are always ready to take on the next challenge, and you are always right there with me!
So I say “Bring it on”! I will keep going as long as I have the support from you Sarah! I want to be around more to spend time with you and our family, and our friends.
So for the rest of you, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and just make sure you “get out of bed, get out the door, and get moving!”
After all, there are a lot of things in life yet to go see, and do, and people to spend it with. Be in control of your health as much as you possibly can be. Strive to Survive! Happy Birthday Molly and Megan! Love you! Keep moving everybody!
