| Slept to alarm and then attended a few hours of talks. Took a run instead of lunch and then back to talks and networking. The run was great breezy but in true San Diego fashion 60s. During the run a sea lion swam alongside me for a few hundred feet.

| I have not set an alarm since being here up again very early. Did work until the sun started to come up. Then different course along the bay. So nice to smell the salt water. Saw a number of birds including a pelican again. Nice not having the meeting start till 8AM compared to my normal work start.
