A.M. Total of 10. Ran 6 with Jeremy - Bejamin joined us for 4, 2 with Jenny and Julia, and 2 alone. Did circular strides. My Crocs are at almost 1700 miles and they still do not have a hole.  That is definitely a record. I do not have an explanation as to why. It is the exact same model as the one that only made it to a bit over 1200 miles.

Day of rest. Went to church. Had a return missionary and his family talk in the Sacrament meeting. He just got back from the Phillipines. The lesson in Sunday school was Nephi's vision. Then in the Elders Quorum we discussed President Uchtdorf's talk "You Matter To Him". Had a nap in the afternoon.
