| | I got up and out the door a little earlier than normal. Still a lot of people out. I saw an old guy running towards me on Adobe. I'm sure he was much faster than me. I turned north on to the Floodway path and saw a group of runners coming my way. As they got closer I could tell that it was a mother, a daughter, and a son. Then I recognized them as this fairly new family in the ward, the Bishop's. I said, "Hi Bishop's!" It'll get a great 4 to 5 years if their dad ever gets called to be the bishop. When I was heading south on the RWCD road, I saw a couple walking toward me. It was Bruce and Carol Schumacher. For that brief stint I had as a primary teacher, Bruce was my companion teacher. He always brought salt water taffy for the kids. His son and his family moved in with them about a year ago. Maybe more. Their son, Blake, is the ward Sunday school president. Bruce was his secretary, but he was recently released. The new Sunday school secretary is......me! Of course, since the Church went into lockdown mode, I haven't done anything. Anyway, I said, "Good morning, guys!" Carol said, "Good morning, Burt!" I said, "It's so good to see you guys." And that was that.
I thought about doing 3 loops today, but I went on a 3 mile hike yesterday with my wife and my dog. I'm a little sore, and I could feel it while I was running, so I decided to just do two loops. I'm enjoying the weather, but fear that it's going to warm up soon. Actually, that might be a good thing. The heat is supposed to help with viruses.
