A day of rest. What a wonderful thing that is outside of running. As a family, we have always attempted to make Sunday a day of rest, meaning we don't engage in other normal activities that we do throughout the week. We try to avoid television, competitive activities and studying. The computer was also a stalwart avoidance on these days however we do not regard that nearly as we have in the past. The emergence of email and the Net while the kids departed for school allowed for communication between everyone thus, many Sundays found my parents emailing us all at school. I while in college did not regard these traditions as strongly but seek now to return. It seems football gained popularity as the roommates all watched and it was difficult to avoid television on Sunday afternoons. I did, however, manage to keep my studying limited to the other days of the week which was nice and a much needed break. I believe as the winter months engage us, I will seek to hold fast to the fasting of television and other "work" type activites that can be accomplished on other days. Well, tomorrow will be day three of my return to normal running and I am chomping to get back out there again on the roads and the fresh air. I do anticipate making it to one more of these this season. One final comment of note...the Sox concluded their '02 season with win while Manny wrapped up the AL batting title. Thanks for a good year Sox and we will be back at again next summer looking for the pennant!
