| Wasn't planning on running today but between the perfect morning and the request from my wife for a family run how could I say no? It was a good run before we headed to church. Then a great afternoon walk to Baskin Robins for ice cream. Happy 4th All!

| I didn't want to push my luck. Today I needed a day off. We did a lot of fun family playing around and just a very little work. Tomorrow back to the daily grind... |

| I had the car today but didn't want to break my streak. So I ran from work up and behind Red Butte. It was very windy and even a little chilly this morning. It felt nice to be off the roads and amongst nature. There were these little turquoise birds that kept me company. I actually wore my Garmin this morning but we will not discuss what it told me... |

| Bad night's sleep to a long day at work. Didn't get out until after the bedtime routine. Had to go back to lab so ran past Red Butte again. Felt pretty good. The weather was crazy. When I was leaving work it was super windy and raining. By the time I got back here it was nice and sunny... |

| Just as I got out of practice running, I also got out of practice blogging. That and my work schedule has increased (if that is possible). Mostly it was a coping mechanism for the lack of running but it has proven fruitful, so... In any case today was actually a great run in. I ran into Megan and then Josh. It was great to catch up with them, if only for a moment. Commute run into work.

| Longest run since February 6th!!! Since my wife has decided to run her first half marathon this fall we are training together. We are starting a mileage build with our family Saturday runs. We just went south but had a good time.
