another 4 miles in the cold today, i'm aiming for 13 miles this week after 11 last week. the steady buildup will continue until january, then maintaining endurance while building speed will be february and march. i seriously picked the wrong time of the year to start training.
keith konya and i and jonathon hung out with Dr. Bruce Edwards on friday and heard his speech/lecture/talk on C.S. Lewis and it was really fun. he even called me out during the talk, just like a professor. I don't know if it was to see if I was paying attention, but I was so shocked that I mumbled the most feeble of answers.
we didn't make it to talk number 2 because we spent all day decorating for christmas: we got a live tree, bought ornaments and other decor (its expensive...when starting out like us) and got everything assembled by 8pm or so.
a bible study tonight, followed by a chat with kurt...and then up in the morning to do it all again tomorrow.
