| Caught up on some of the sleep I missed last night. Said good morning and happy V-day to my girls and headed to work. Did an extension on the A&W commute run. Still very tired but better than yesterday. Avg. 9:07 HR 151

| Reset. This has been a hectic week and I opted for sleep and a run this morning. It is good to find that balance. Obviously after 34 yr I'm still looking. The run was great and I did a commute run via Memory Grove. Avg. 8:30 HR 144 Ascent 1307ft Descent 993ft

| So much for that balance. I obviously have too many passions in my life. I guess that makes it one beautiful bouquet though. Mid-campus commute run, it was the only additional time I could spare. Starting today I had already put in over 50 hr since Monday... Avg. 8:37 HR 136

Wanted to get in a good run before the family woke up and had to stop by lab for about an hour. So still woke up to the alarm ran into lab and then on to Memory Grove again. This is a fun loop. The weather was perfect and there were so many people out this morning. I didn't make my 50 again for this week but I refuse to be a mileage whore again and for now will let the count lie where it falls...
