Hello Everyone, Soccer season is finally over. The LCHS Girls JV Soccer Team picture is shown. My son Brian (assistant coach) is on the left side of the team. I am on the right if you forget what I look like. The girls where introduced to running on the first day of practice (2.2 miles). Half the team had to walk the last mile and two girls dropped so far off the rear I lost them for a few minutes. I don't think the school administration would have been happy with me if I didn't find them. By the end of the season the entire team was looking forward to our runs and our fitness was the best in the league. Many of our games were tied at half time and won in the second half. Well, as you can see on the picture we had a very successful season. My eighteen adopted daughters were sad to see the end of the season. I also assign referees to games and I and my sons refereed games on the weekends. Last week my sons and I refereed 20 soccer games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Deep Run Turkey Bowl Soccer Tournament, that was 20 hours of running, stopping, starting, cutting, turning and sprinting. I felt good enough to go swimming on Monday night.

Bernadette and I were biking when the weather was nice and recently spinning at the Health Club three times a week. I have started swimming again trying to improve my stoke for next years triathlons. I will be doing the Philadelphia Triathlon with TNT again (third year). I am also already signed up for the Lehigh Valley Half Marathon on April 27 (including pasta dinner on Saturday night) and the Timberman Half Ironman on August 17. I am looking for a Half Ironman in May or June. I am having some issues with my right knee but I hope it will just go away. Those things do that don't they? Hope to see you all soon. Dave
