Total Distance

3.00

Got to bed late last night so turned off my 5:30 alarm and got up at 6:15. Read scriptures for 10 minutes (NY Resolution) then headed out for a quick run. I need to convince my wife to go to bed earlier as it helps me do the same. She's working now & getting up an hour earlier than before so I figured she'd always be tired & hit the sack early now, but she's an election hound and stayed up watching the Iowa returns. Interesting stuff.

I was going to ask about your running but after reading your Personal I can't stop wondering... Did the Dog, Cats or you eat all but one of the chickens? I just gotta know :-)

Russ, as far as ny goals go, I figured it shouldn't be too hard to get as many pages in the scriptures as miles. I'm already 15 behind...

We let the chickens free range and one of them didn't come back one night; two were killed by dog #2 (who we gave back to his original owners); and the last one died recently when possibly a weasel ripped off her neck but left the rest of the bird untouched. Very fun. We'll get some more in the spring and hopefully keep more egg layers around.

And Kam, I realized that in 2011 I ran 1283 miles and read probably 30 pages in the scriptures. I need more balance so I'll just do more this year - read more and run more!
