Early AM: 4 miles.  Ran a bit with Kim but she was having weird pains and thought she better walk a bit and stay close to home. So ran solo for a bit but was able to meet back up with Kim around mile 3 and was glad to see she appears to be OK.

Late AM: 45 minutes XT at the gym (E/B/S).

It was nice to open the Des News this morning and see this article about FRB long-timer Paul Petersen on the front page of the Sports section.

Great link and article. He may not want the attention, but definitely deserves to be recognized for the act of a true sportsman.

That is a nice article about a nice guy! Not only does he deserve to have the article, I think the world deserves to see more good stories like this in the news! So even though he didn't want the attention I'm glad he let them do the article. Tom, did you put this on the honor board in the discussions? I think it deserves to be there.
