pm--6 Anasazi to the homestead and back. It was a bit overcast and cooler. Nice afternoon run. 
 

I finished The Pale King by David Foster Wallace. It has its interesting moments but is harder to appreciate overall because of how it was posthumously pieced together. Wallace has great insights when it comes to boredom.

pm--6 Grass loops w/ 8x striders. Beautiful evening. 
 

I read Matt Baxter's book, Hurt Me If You Can: The Tales of a High School Runner, over the last 2 days. It's chronological but scattered. Nonetheless, it has some fun insights.
