| Longest run since Feb 16th at the marathon! Woke up before dawn and did a nice run at sunrise. I did some adventure "running" off course in a new area of land they are clearing for development. Saw a few deer. Took it nice and easy and enjoyed the run. It was pretty humid but because it was early not too hot.

| Fun filled day. Slept in, ran some errands, worked a little, and had a nice neighborhood BBQ. Squeezed in a 5 mi run as well.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to the Veterans.

| The caveat with a weekend off is the pile you come back to... The day went fine though. Only problem was I was up till after 1AM... I did get a run in prior to getting back to work.

| Had only typing today so worked from home. Nice to have the extra hour in the day. Had a productive morning then went out for a midday run just as it started raining. The 2nd mile was the heaviest and then it stopped completely for the final three miles. Would have preferred rain the entire run. Really glad to see double digit days again!!! Then went back to work and did a couple more hours after the girls went down. May have worked from home today but got in a good 12 hours...
