pm--6.25 Anasazi to the homestead. Decent run w/ some food hanging out in my stomach and holiday weight dragging me down. 
 

I finished a decent book about group culture called The Culture Engine by S. Chris Edmonds. It's a book Mike Smith from NAU recommended.

pm--4.25 Vineyard w/ 5x striders after. Lots of rain lately. We can surely use it, but I miss the sun.

I finished a Hugo Award winner, Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. It was good but not quite as fabulous as I was hoping.

pm--4.75 Harmon's trail, trying to keep the pace slightly on the side of a negative split and arriving at the gate at our exact minutes. We were like 15 seconds off. 
 

My son and I also finished Stuart Little by E.B. White. It's been fun to do some bedtime reading. Our bond is stronger because of it.
