Larry (in San Diego) and Wayne (and grandchild's baptism) were unavailable so I spent the early morning working on my talk for Church on Sunday and went out a little later to run. As I was heading out the door about 10:30am I had an impression to call Kevin. I figured he'd be busy with his family, but I called anyway. It turns out he wanted to run and it was probably the best time of the day to get it in. We ran 6 miles together then I added 2.6 more. I really enjoyed the run. Kevin and I haven't been able to run together much this winter. We talked about various things, including my talk on Sunday, which I also pondered when I was running alone. It was time well spent.
