am—Hart’s and the bank. I did add anymore. Calling it a down week.

I finished Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. He’s one of my favorite authors. This is his first novel, so it lacks the succinct style of later novels. The whole man vs. machines theme feels relevant.

pm—6 Green Springs w/ striders. I had a nice sleep-in this morning and took down some hearty treats during the day, but the run still turned out well. On another note, our girls have some real foot speed.

am--5 Reverse DI/Costco/Neighborhood. I felt flat and sweated like crazy this morning. Also, I need more sleep. We'll see what we can do about that tonight. 

pm--5 Green Springs. Last trip up for a few of the girls. They move on to bigger and better things, and we get new faces. Every year, it's hard, and some of the kids are unforgettable, but it's part of the circle.

pm--6 Pretty much the old Swiss Days route from my house and back. It's taking me a while to warm into a run these days. My problem is I don't see myself as stronger. I need to change that.

am--5 Part of the old morning route in the spectacularly beautiful chill of our current weather pattern. I felt better than yesterday. Graduation today, and I'm really going to miss these kiddos. 

I finished a book of essays by David Foster Wallace, A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again. I love his voice and perspective. If you’re interested, search out his essay “String Theory” and enjoy. It’s a good example of his voice and style.

am—7 Gma’s to the Orem Cemetery and back. I felt much better today. The snow-covered peaks made for a nice view. 

I finished my first foray into manga—Fullmetal Alchemist, vol. 1-3 by Hiromu Arakawa. The stories in many of the Japanese comics and cartoons are superior to the MCU. I said it, and I mean it.

pm—6 Slow burner w/ Old 97’s in the ears. They can really write raucous country.

I finished Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. It was compelling even though it runs counter to most everything I believe. Favorite quote: “Nothing is static. Everything is evolving. Everything is falling apart.” Seems about right.
