Hope you are doing well and having some fantastic running!
I just met a fellow Henrico firefighter friend of yours today! My kids and I went on something we'd been wanting to do for so long for the first time--whitewater rafting on the James River. It was just us three and another man and woman. The guy was Scott from the Henrico fire department! We started talking and I told him how kind you are and he knew you! I forgot to get his last name but he had a very pretty Asian girlfriend and he had a great faith in God and very kind person. The water on the river was a wild and fun trip!
I wanted to write and tell you what a good person you are. You help others in your profession and you are caring heart to everyone around you. Thank you for You!

- Hi Rob! That rain just a while ago was so fantastic! I loved that!
Yes, I used to be a television news anchor and reporter. I covered a lot of fires, police, courts, border patrol, helicopter--exciting!
I stopped when my son was born with autism and lifethreatening physical problems to take care of him fulltime, though now I do fashion modeling, freelance writing, and my wonderful friend Mitzi has me on the board of directors at the art gallery. I miss TV reporting though! I always wanted to be a firefighter. I would cover the stories and truly in awe of the courage and selflessness to help others. That willingness to do for others is beautiful and truly what is important at the end of the day, so I admire you for that.
Best wishes in your awesome running!

- You are doing so fantastic in the firefighting! Thank you for the positive difference you make in this world, Rob!
When I was a television news reporter in Louisiana, I actually took the physical agility test to become a firefighter. It was such a great experience--tough--but fun and very rewarding!
I am in awe of and admiration for the good you do for others! Wishing all the best and blessings your way!

Rebecca said… - To answer your question...I do mostly tris. Dus are tough though! Du Nats this year...I have never felt so exhausted as crossing that finish line. I wasn't sure I was gonna make it! I gave everything I had up the last hill...when I got to the top my legs felt like jello and I thought they were gonna buckle underneath me! Well I have a new bike since last year. Last yr mine was 1K...now...try 2.5K! Crazy! My bike is worth more than my car! So what is your races of choice? Been training much lately?
