Cold weather and lack of motivation equal laziness. Treadmill run this morning. I spent the hour contemplating the possibility of fostering two children in our ward. They are being raised by their grandparents, but their grandmother has terminal cancer. She has reached a point where she struggles to care for the children. I don't know if taking them in is a possibility, or an actual solution to a tough situation. I don't know if it's a good thing for my kids. But, the impression to at least explore the possibility keeps coming to me.

Heavy thoughts are often made clearer when I run.

Met Caisa up in Daybreak for a New Year's Day run. I enjoyed the morning, and I wasn't as cold as I thought I would be. I think it's after the run that I'm most cold. Nice easy talking run around Daybreak. 7:42 average.

I will get back on schedule next week. This week has been crazy.

I doubled my weekly mileage today with a nice long run with Jenny. It was my longest run since CIM. It felt great. Especially since the weather was more bearable. Who knew I would be so happy to see 24 degrees? It was great getting caught up with Jenny. The run flew by. 7:20 average.
