I didn't feel like doing shit yesterday, and I really didn't feel like getting up this morning.

The house is very quiet in the morning now. During my run this morning it was easy to visualize Thor running alongside me in the leapfrogging manner in which I remember well. He always felt the need to mark his territory everywhere he went. Everywhere outside, at least.

Today was quick, although I stretched before. That probably helped some. Mostly negative splits, markedly so at the end.

I looked to the floor in front of our couch out of instinct as I came back in the house. Thor's not there anymore.

I also have the unenviable task of explaining mortality to the Princess, my four year-old daughter, who cried "I miss Thor" when she went to bed on Saturday. The Sledgehammer, my three year-old daughter, isn't old enough to grasp it yet. I guess that's a small blessing for now.
