| Best sleep in awhile. Actually did not wake up at 5AM. Happy Easter. Did our family and then church activities followed by neighbor activities until after 4PM. Decided to enjoy the perfect weather and went for a run. This was the longest in awhile.

| Very productive day. Clicked 5 things off my to due list. Finally catching up after a long, long bout of distractions. Even home a little early and did a longer walk with my family. Then a nice sunset run. Saw two frogs and a large number of ground squirrels. Even did somewhat of a workout for the first time in a long time. Changed pace every other lamp post for 2 miles.
