I did run this morning, slowly, with some protests (mostly from my calves) — but the weather permitted, I was at home, and I’m eager to burn away some of the avoirdupois that accumulates when I am on holiday. My pace was in line with my post-injury times, though that’s still far off my better paces when I’m in shape and ready to go.
Coffee and hot breakfast, shower, Morning Prayer, midweek Mass, Chapter Meeting, then home for the afternoon. My homily this morning permits me to enthuse about the stories concerning the eben shetiyah, the Foundation Stone of the Temple, and to make a case for pious imagination as an inextricable complement to any historically demonstrable facts about the history of Israel or the career of Jesus of Nazareth (‘…but I say to you…’). Will post here after the service.
