Only had time for a little on the trail. Today was finally relaxing. Get busy but not the stress level of the last 5 days.

Last full day out of town. Unbelievably busy. Thought we were done on Saturday but I was mistaken 6 meetings all at least 20 minutes apart running around all day. Finished off the last items on our list but still crazy... No time for a run, exhausted at night.

Could have gotten up to run but with all that has gone on the last 7 days decided that would be stupid so turned off the alarm and slept an extra 2 hours. Then a day of travel. Finally back to Utah and hopefully life as "normal" at least for the next few months...
