Age is just a number.

No run today. Decided to take today off and focus on other things including scripture study and specifically the Book of Mormon. It's been a long time since I've read it cover to cover and I felt it was time now to do so again. Most especially since I have been investigating another church I feel it's only right to do so. Trying to find the truth in testimony lately has been like the old cliche of "finding a needle in a haystack".  Regardless, one thing I do know is this, Jesus Christ is the son of God and is the way and the light. It's not something you can prove empirically to oneself, only spiritually. This my simple testimony this morning.

Congrats to everyone who ran Utah Valley Marathon and Half. Hope everyone had a good time.

No run today, mainly travelled to Portland and stopped along the way at Multnomah Falls and my favorite hole in the wall in Portland for Chinese eats. The family was a bit wary at first when I took them there but were soon glad that they trusted the old mans judgement. Later on we hung out at Powell's bookstore, (probably the largest new/used book store in the US..)  You know it was the kids in the end we had to pry out eventually not me. They are becoming quite the book worms and that people is just fine by me.  Anything but Nintendo gameboy..

Finally arrived in Newport, Oregon and checked into the condo. A sweet piece of property which sits right on the beach overlooking the rocks and the harbor seals. My wife has a friend at work who was very kind and gracious to let us stay at this property. This is the first real vacation we had in a very long time.

Off to go run the coast highway..

Day off. Originally I had listed this as a travel day but because of our hectic schedule I didn't realize I had entered onto the wrong date.
