AM: The good and the bad thing about writing is it can take place anywhere. The last two days in lab were fraught with interruptions so I worked from home last night and this morning. It is nice to role out of bed and just start. So by the time Sandra got back from dropping the girls off at school I already had a good 3 hr of work done. So we decided to go for a rare run together. We did the Suicide Loop. The air looked much clearer and the temperature was nice. Two daytime runs in a row nice to see the sun. However, back to the writing. I wish I could write even half as well as I can run, but I am SO SLOW when it comes to putting "pen to paper" so to speak.

Avg. 9:00 HR 131

PM: ? only if I get the paper out... NOPE, worked until 11pm. At least I got a nice morning run in...

Nope, no evening run. A real bummer but I have a too much to get done before the weekend... So it goes sometimes.
