Ran early with Laureen, south around the corn maze, through the golf course, south along the mountain and back along the canal road. We were a little pressed for time (as my nephew was getting married in Bountiful), so we cut things a little short. Over all, it was a nice morning despite the smoke and a chance to just spend time with my wife. She has had some lingering aches and pains, but she seems to be running stronger all the time. It's great to have something that we both enjoy doing that gives us some exercise as well. It really helps to have a couple of hours to just talk without any interruptions. Some couples have a little time just before drifting off to sleep, but if I'm just laying in bed with the lights out, I could only maintain consciousness for about 60 to 90 seconds. I can't count the number of times that I've been talking to Laureen and have fallen asleep in the brief pause between something I've said and her reply (which usually startles me to the point that I jump halfway out of bed). Come October I'm going to take a whole week just to catch up on sleep :) |
