Well, it's Monday and we're back from our vacation which means back to work for me and back to baby school for Harper. All things considered, we had a pretty good morning - meaning no major meltdowns from either one of us. I don't really have a proper post for today, just some things that are on my mind this morning. Here goes.
- Yesterday, I committed to running a 10K with my friend Allison. I am not a runner. I think running is silly. Furthermore, I don't really like to ride in a car for 10K, much less run it. I'm pretty sure I can do this, but I'm also pretty sure I'm not going to like it. I'm going to the gym tonight to start training on the treadmill.
- While I was in Florida, I read this book. It was really good. Here's a synopsis: God and sex go together. You can’t separate the two because this physical world is intimately linked to deeper spiritual realities. And so, in order to make sense of sexuality, at some point you have to talk about God. With beauty and unusual insight, Sex God explores this connection. Yeah, it's a book about sex and God but it's also about what it means to be fully human. It talks about how we really miss out on the life that God intends for us because of how we make connections with some things and choose not to connect with other things. This is a book about sex, but as I read it, I thought about just about every other aspect of my life. I would encourage you to read it. I think I need to re-read it.
- It was snowing when I walked outside to start my car this morning. I like the snow. It makes the 17 degree temperature slightly more enjoyable.

So will you be coming to Cincy to run the 10k? I used to want to run. Then I did and hated it. Walking is so much easier. I would rather walk 60 miles than run 6!
Kelly- Yep. Harper and I and hopefully Rob will be making a trip up for the race. I'm also hoping to get up there sometime this month maybe. I'll let you know.
Running might be silly, but it can be enjoyable. At the very least, you challenge yourself, gain some extra time to think/reflect on life/escape from the world/etc. during training, and eventually get some quality time with a friend during the race - good luck!
John- Hello my long lost friend. Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I showed my mom some pictures of you and your girlfriend on facebook and her exact comment was "Come on John! What are you waiting for?" Just thought I'd let you know that my mom gave your relationship the green light.
Haha - tell your mom that I appreciate the green light. I got a lecture from Katie over the holidays as well :)
