| Do to a power outage I went home early today. The power was out for over 3hr. So I got to run a rare midday run. I ran a different home loop first heading down to Liberty park and then north before heading home. Avg. 8:01 HR 140

| Unfortunately had to be in work by 6am so just had time for the direct commute run... Good news is it is only 9am and I've already completed three things. Naked

| Overall a good day. Went when the girls to cheer on mommy in the 10-miler. Also, got to see and talk to a number of people (Allie, Chad and Walter) some I hadn't talked to in over a year! After that I went for my run. From home to lab (had to work a little) then on to Memory Grove and home via Liberty Park. A nice loop and nice weather. Avg. 7:51 HR 154
