Day of rest. A miracle happened. I picked up a copy of the Ensign in the afternoon and started reading it. Normally my eyes start getting tired in half an hour of reading anything, I cannot read for more than half an hour straight. Given the way I was feeling around that time I was expecting my eyes to tire out in 15 minutes. But I read for almost 2 hours and the eyes did not feel tired. I learned a lot. I figure there was something important for me there so the Lord made my eyes strong enough to read it.

I'm impressed! That may be a record of sorts! :) So great to meet you today! Thanks for letting me bike along with your run with Michelle! It's like getting invited to eat at the "cool kids" table at lunch :)
