Ezra James

Loving the Autumn time and the cool mornings to run in... makes this so much more enjoyable. Did 2 laps around the Wu Duke trail, 1 with Maddy and 1 without. It took all my strength to leave the watch inside the car and just run it at a casual pace during the reintroduction to running week. After Maddy had to skip out to go to work, I put the iPod on and Old Pine by Ben Howard was the 2nd song on. I really think that is the absolute perfect autumn song and I loved every minute of it. Starts slow, builds, and then finishes fast - perfect for running! I'm kinda on a Ben Howard kick right now too so that was great that he came on - I currently have 171 songs on the shuffle now and it's fun to see what might pop up next. 6 miles total for the run and a great afternoon Tabata session with Charlie. Tomorrow will be the first day in the pool since Sportsplex over 3 weeks ago... ugh. On the way home, my good friend David (Kenny) sent me a text with the picture of their newest addition - Ezra James Olson. My college best friend, and his wife, Andrea was a trooper throughout as she pushed a 9lb baby into this world at 2:15pm. So happy for them both... another life, another miracle from Our Creator. Blessed.
