Happy Valentine’s Day.

It’s the day of hearts.  The day of love.  I can’t think of a better way to love my wife and my sons than to take care of my heart. To get into better health.  They don’t need me having a heart attack at the young age of 44. They need me to be able to bring my A-game to the table every night.  I can’t afford to be “too tired” when my boys want their dad to go throw ball or play with them.  I’m sure my wife would like me to have enough energy to do more than just sit on the couch.

My mom had pretty rough heart surgery a few years ago.  My dad’s dad had bypass surgery in 1980.  Heart problems are in my family.  This morning’s workout was a step in the right direction to make sure I avoid that legacy.

I’m not sure Cupid could have made me love the workout this morning.  (except the running sprints with a parachute on part — that was kind of cool.)  But I did it.  I did it for my heart. I did it as a Valentine’s gift for my family.
