I ran solo down to 400 S in Orem and back for a total of 6.4 miles. It was dark with a cold wind...and so was the weather. I was feeling a little down for some reason and thinking some negative thoughts. What else was there to do but start singing? For a mile or so I sang...out loud...adjusting the melody to suck in air as needed...mostly songs about Jesus, and light, and the beauty of the world that I learned as a child. It helped, as it always does.

Lindon loop with Larry and Wayne. It wasn't pretty (kind of like my basketball playing last night) and we all struggled a little even at a fairly slow pace, but it was good to run together.

One of my daughters had to be at UVU at 8:15am for an elementary school ballroom dance competition so I couldn't run in the morning with Larry and Wayne. I managed to squeeze in 6 miles in the early morning, and was hoping to get some more in later, but that never happened. We got home around 11:00am and then at 1:00pm Karen and I left for Ogden with Kenny and Mindy Fung and our daughters who were competing with their Studio 1 dance team in the Odyssey dance competition. Their son Nathan also came along. We didn't get home until around 10:00pm. Parts of the day were boring, sitting and waiting, but overall it was a great day. It was fun sharing it with the Fungs. I was glad to support my daughters. They're awesome and I'm glad they have the opportunity to participate in these activities (even if it isn't running).
