2.8 easy miles @ 8:59/mi
This may be my last run before Saturday's marathon. I hope I'm ready. I know I'm more ready than I've been in the past few years. I wish I hadn't collided with my solid son playing basketball a couple of weeks ago. My ribs are still pretty sore, but they only hurt for the first mile or so on a run, so I hope I'll be okay. I've felt a little numbness in my bad left knee, but that happens sometimes. I don't feel any pain. I'm not too worried. I'll wear my knee strap as a precaution.
The hay's in the barn. I hope it's enough to get me through the winter.
I'm excited to run the Utah Valley marathon on Saturday. Every race is an adventure. Today the excitement is that my daughter Brittany returns from serving her 18 month mission to the Washington Tacoma Mission! We've been thrilled to have her serve. She's had difficult and wonderful experiences, her own marathon of sorts. She has blessed the lives of so many as she's loved and served them and invited and helped them to come unto Christ and partake of his mercy, love, and peace. Now we're excited to have her come home. Beginnings and endings and new beginnings. Every race, every life, is an adventure. There are good days and bad days. Today's a good day.
