I will probably take the day off - maybe some walking if the weather is nice.

One of my former cross country runners and students from the class of 2008 took his own life over the weekend and I'm struggling to hold back the tears. He was a doctor at the George Washington University Medical Center and a graduate of BYU and the University of Utah School of Medicine. He was a joy to teach and coach.

Once it's public and in the newspapers I'll probably write more about him.

PM: 6.5 miles in The Gully. Repeat of Thursday. It's better to be outside than in the gym on the treadmill or eliptical. Better for my general outlook on life that is...

I went to Will's funeral today. Long, about two hours. Will had 5 brothers and sisters and they all spoke as well as both his parents and multiple officials of the church. The family was great though and I enjoyed their thoughts and memories of Will. It was also a bit of an Alta cross country reunion and I saw many old runners now in their mid 30s. Nice, except for the circumstances obviously. 

There was lots of honest talk about depression and the stresses associatiated with a medical residency. Will's dad chose to read the note Will left which was mostly addressed to his colleagues at the hospital where he worked. That will stay with me. Will was a thoughtful, decent, and accomplished young man.
