| I definitely have a moving target when it comes to schedule right now. Writing a review and worked from home last night and this morning. Then my daughter had her kindergarten graduation. It was a little later in the morning after some class so during that time I went on a run with my wife and youngest to SugarHouse and then into lab. Avg. HR

| Well it has been over another week so I opted for a surge again. This time only one. But same result, foot is sore... Now two weeks before I try again, maybe three... Did have a fun morning. Short hike with my oldest daughter and then a family Suicide loop each pushing a girl. It was toasty out there. |
