am--9.5 Long run from hospital to Sunrise w/ pick-ups. Pretty much all of our pick-ups were uphill and felt awesome. Golden crew. RHR--52.

pm--2.25 Grass loops at Sandstone. Nothing major. 

I finished another book yesterday. George Saunders wrote Lincoln in the Bardo when he learned that Lincoln went to the sepulchre where his son was laid to rest and pulled him out of his coffin to hold him. This was the night of the funeral, more tender than crazy. Most of the novel takes place in between this life and the next, in limbo.

One of the best parts of the book is watching the disembodied spirits enter Lincoln to try and influence his thoughts. In the end they become aware of his innermost thoughts. A particularly moving scene happens when most of the spirits jump into Lincoln to turn him around. The unity of purpose they share brings great things to pass. It's a nice passage on the effects of teamwork. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who could navigate the structure and can stomach some of the dark underbelly of mortal existence.
