I'm a husband, a father, a blogger and a runner. I play my music in the Texas sun.
This is the story of my running adventures, marathons and ultra marathons on road and trail, and the people I've met who make it all worthwhile.
Sweet sleep with soft down Weave thy brows an infant crown Sweet sleep angel mild, Hover o'er my happy child.
- William Blake
I'm sitting in a hospital room looking at my newborn son. The little bump we've been calling "Archie" for the past few months has morphed into a 7lb 15oz bundle of curiosity named Dylan James Richards.
Both Nancy and the former Archie are doing great and I'm over the moon. The boy has all 10 fingers and toes (I counted) and one hell of a set of lungs - must get that from his mother!!!
And if he inherits her looks and brains he won't be going too far wrong.
Here are a few photos of our big day.
About to leave for the hospital after our 3am start

Congratulations!! He looks adorable. What a beautiful family you have. :) Ask Nancy when I can bring her some brownies.
Congratulations!
Congrats! I knew you'd go with a proper Welsh sounding name. Although I do not know if Gavin looks to happy to have a baby brother...
That's fantastic news - congratulations to all of you! Love the name (of course!)
Thanks everyone. Gavin is actually really sweet with his little brother - he just hates having his picture taken :-)
Do I have your permission to send this link to all of the TEA runners? Or do you have some in the wings waiting to deliver them to us?
