AM: It was nice to have yesterday off from work. Feel more relaxed this morning. Now I have about 48 hr to finish up this latest grant and move on. Did the direct commute run in. 

Mi 2.5 Avg. 9:56 HR 129

PM: Not the most productive day. But Monday's usually seem to fall under that category of organization/busy work. It sure warmed up for my run home this evening, entered the 90s! A&W commute.

So when are you moving to Alabama? The heat and humidity are ramping up for you...

I think I got a foretaste today. I can't believe how much hotter it was here. But the over double % humidity is going to be a shocker. We'll get there the last weekend in June. It is the same weekend we initially came to Utah, just 7 years later.

Keep cool.

Enjoy your last month in Utah.

From Adam RW on Mon, May 13, 2013 at 21:49:08 from 155.101.152.65

I'll try my best to beat the heat. Tomorrow I'll run earlier, assuming I get home at a decent hour tonight.

Jon, We are trying. Definitely going on a lot of extra hikes etc. while the mountains are still so close.
