Suicide-Dog loop. Still feeling tired. I planned today on Monday. Since I worked the holiday and get to make my own schedule (more or less) I took a half day today. Went in for about three hours. Then took the family to Thanksgiving point. It was great. We got to the door of the dinosaur museum as they were opening and there were only three other people there. We had the whole museum to ourselves. My daughter got to do every hands on activity without any wait. Toward the end of the loop of the museum a few other people showed up but there were so few children that we always had each room to ourselves for at least half the time. Overall a great family day. Then after a late lunch back into work. After dinner the home loop past Suicide Rock and through the Dog Park. Headed home just in time to watch the sunset. Avg. 8:35

Nice full day of fun and a good workout. That's nice that the museum wasn't crowded. I went there last year in the summer and the crowd was awful.

Keep that confidence level up for TOU. I let myself down last week not being motivated and feeling sorry for myself because of the ear infection and other things. You will do well.

Thanks Kory. If I show half the strength you did I'm sure I will do well.

Sam, I'm really looking forward to it.
