prodigal son

today i went for a short run of 4.24 miles with the baby and stavro on his bike. it wasn't our best experience. i was feeling some fatigue in my legs and stavro was well being a kid. asking questions and wanting answers when all i wanted to do was breath. it was nice to take a route we never did before so there were many distractions.

here are the stats.
total mileage : 4.24 total calories:402 pace average:9.20
mile one 9.28
mile two 9.18
mile three 9.28
mile four 9.17
last .24th 2.04 (8.30)
the only comments i can post that are of any value today have to do with the Prodigal Son: "But if he had despaired of his life, and, ... had remained in the foreign land, he would not have obtained what he did obtain, but would have been consumed with hunger, and so have undergone the most pitiable death": ... St. John Chrysostom (Golden Mouth), AN EXHORTATION TO THEODORE AFTER HIS FALL 4th Century
