Larry and I ran 4 easy miles this morning. We wandered over to the THS track and ran on it for a while. It was nice having a comfortable surface to run on and not have to think about where we were going.

We talked a little about our young adult children. We both have good children, but they don't always make the choices we might like them to make. All we can do is try to make sure we at least teach them correct principles, as we understand them, and then they're going to make their own decisions...kind of like we did when we were their age, and we turned out okay. It's that old circle of life thing.

Thanks for the reminders, Larry.

If you still want to run SG this year and are not registered, see Larry's blog.

I did mention the SG registrations to Terry, and even started some smack talkin' to try to get him to do it. See http://oldbean.fastrunningblog.com/blog-Utah-Marathon-Relay/09-13-2008.html.

We talked about vampires because I'm finally reading the 3rd Edward/Bella/Jacob book. Hyper-growth human/vampire babies with psychic powers being imprinted by werewolves? Are you kidding me? Actually, I have to admit I'm kind of enjoying it. If you've already read it, please don't reply. Don't think me rude but, until I've finished it, I'm not really interested in your opinion. ;o)
