[Yesterday’s run: 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
I received some news about an old friend yesterday that made me sad and worried.<\/p>\n
Today it is convenient for me to take a day of fasting, so I am going to do that.\u00a0 I won’t be at peak mental or physical performance, but I think it will be OK.<\/p>\n
I can’t tell you that it actually makes a big difference in the grand scheme of things.\u00a0 But it helps me.\u00a0 I have something come along every few months that demands some response more than the general run of “bad news” that seems to drive our television\/internet culture.<\/p>\n
I know people who have done fasting as often as once a week.\u00a0 It takes me a day or two to recover, so I don’t think I can do that and still be doing my job and meet the general responsibilities of life.<\/p>\n
But I can today.<\/p>\n
My big fear is that I’ll forget and unthinkly dive into the refrigerator.\u00a0 I have to remember.<\/p>\n
The way this is supposed to be done is “in secret” and I’ve just told you, so I’m not really doing it right.\u00a0 That’s OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
