| Getting back to it. Slept well. Then out the door to a nice crisp morning running. In the upper 40s but still opted for shorts, it felt good.

| Whirlwind day. Up early to lab. 12 hr then home, dinner, treadmill, and some more work. At least I've been taking most of the weekends off.

| Busy day. This week is just hammaring me. Luckily we had a "Family Fun Night" at the girls school so that at least broke up the evening with a little fun. Did 3 quick miles on the treadmill before heading to that as I had to work tonight.

| No that is not a typo on the sleep. I did manage to get my work done but I was in lab before 4:30am this morning to do it. I just crashed at night and thought no run would be the healthier choose. Luckily today is Friday. Hopefully I can catch-up on some sleep... Can't believe it is already two weeks since the marathon. I hope to also start back to some training next week as well.

| Finally got some sleep. The we did a family run of loops around the pound. First couple loops with the girls and then just with my wife while the girls played at the park. I will hopefully do a few more miles this evening but now for a day full of errands. Always something to do, right?
AM Avg. 8:53
PM Did not make the second run. Mostly due to family fun so that is ok. Did do the errands and a little bit of work. Overall a good day.
