Cold run in Trenton, New Jersey. Not going to be much time for running this week. My grandfather had a stroke Friday and has steadily been getting worse. I was the last person who had a conversation with him. The man lived a life of spirit, a construction explosives expert, a logger, a small business owner, a guy who defined every bit of who I decided I wanted to be. I really have no idea what life will feel like if he won't be around any more.
