| Hoping to get everyday but Thursday in this week. Nice evening run. Even saw a deer. It just stood there watching me as I passed within 10 feet of it.

| It has been a while since I've had three days in a row. Work was a long day and it was chilly/windy out tonight so I just did a few on the treadmill.

| It's kind of interesting but today felt lite because I only had work from 6AM to 4:30PM. Even made it home in time to play at the park some with the kids. Overall this week is going well but a few deadlines looming for next week so I hope to get a head start on them before the holiday weekend. The run was perfect tonight. It warmed up to the 60s and was perfect. About a block from my house were 5 deer. Just a relaxing dusk run after the family time.

| Today was a long but nice day. Left house at 5:30AM back at 10PM. Do not like missing family dinner or my run but sometimes it is necessary. Just wish I was sleeping better.

| Another early rise. Wanted to leave early today. Left house at 5AM but ended up not getting home to 5PM. So by the time the family routine was done I was just up for a movie and sleep.
