Morning jog.

Skipped church and climbed 3,000 feet to the top of Willard Spire with the kids and some neighbor kids.  Some low class 5 on the upper sections so we all had to be ropped together in a long chain.  Pretty neat climb.  Two bald eagle families and some goats.

My oldest daughter was a little concerned about missing church.  I pointed out the facts that every major revelation in the bible was received on a mountain, The Gold Plates were found on a mountain, every single significant sermon in the Book of Mormon was on a mountain, mountains were often considered as holy as temples, and the word "mountain" is the third most often repeated word in the scriptures.  

I'm considering sharing this with the bishop next Sunday since he has mentioned my attendance a few times.

Quick run before work.

My son is mad at me right now because I've told him it's time to move out.  Life is just too easy.

Long week of work fighting snowstorms from the Great Lakes to the East Coast.  Single digit weather and snow everywhere.  Almost no time at all for running.

Cleveland today.  Cold slow run.

I read The Perfect Mile today while working and have no idea why it took so long for me to find this book.  Great read and a lot to think about.  One of the coolest parts was a few paragraphs about Bannister doing oxygen and fitness testing on Hillary after the Everest expedition.  He was amazed the the lack of conditioning the climber had and told him it was incredible he made the mountain.

Very long all afternoon run completely on grass through Estero State Park, Florida Everglades after work.  Hydration was a challenge today.  Best run so far this year.
