| Got to sleep in a little, even with the time change. Then church and a little family time before hitting the work. With how much time I give to it you'd think I'd get more done. That said a friend from the church/neighborhood was also working late and convinced me for a late night run in the rain. Luckily it stayed above 50F so it didn't feel bad. Bryan can always push the pace on me though. We did see an armadillo.

| Late night/early start... Had to go back to work tonight so came home an hour early and ran before dinner. Obviously crunch time and a bit boring to read about but having fun and getting stuff done.
