| No run, just time for church. Woke up at 4AM hoping to get it done in time for an evening run but even with the last start did not wrap up until 11PM, too late or a run...

| Morning run with Ty and Josh. Usual loop. It was chilly this morning, below 50F. Josh got to meet Meb at a book signing yesterday. Sounds like he is a great guy and easy to talk to.

| Ran with Josh and then a busy but productive and fun day. Got two big things done at work and ended the day at an evening slow boil sponored by our neighborhood with live music... Everyday should be like this.

| Barefoot run on beach in Destin, FL. It's amazingly clean and was a beautiful day. Did get a couple blisters but still great. Then swimming, shopping, and meals with the family.
