| Running in the humidity and heat of Birmingham AL. Ran up from campus to the statue of Vulcan. A fairly impressive sight. Then through some of the trials they have there. Finished with a little loop of part of the campus. Then on to interviews and talks from 8am-8pm... They went well and I had a good turnout and feedback at my presentation. Legs sore from Saturday's hike.

| Travel day. Got dressed to do a run but by the time I had set-up in lab at night it was 9:30pm and felt getting the sleep after a day of travel was a better idea. Did get home mid afternoon to have time to play with the girls at least... |

A&W commute run then through campus. Very nice morning. I dare say cool. Now to a bunch of catch-up after three missed days of work. The good news is that now while traveling I can get work done on the planes and in the airports. In some ways I almost got more work done away than while I am "at work"...

AM: Tired from a long day yesterday. I'm still working on catch-up from my Brussels' trip... In any case after being in lab from 7am-11pm minus 3hr family time I was ready for bed. Up early this AM to get things started for a 6am experiment. Only time for commute run in but am hoping to get out for a few more miles this afternoon... 2.5 mi; Avg. 9:30 HR 134 PM: Definitely think I was overcompensating with work for being out of town. In two days I put in 26 hr. It was a hugely rewarding week though in addition to having the job interview I also found out two manuscripts I had worked on over the past few years were accepted. A lot of good news in a short time. Tonight I chose to do a commute run for movie pickup instead of grabbing it on the way home. 4 mi; Avg. 8:04 HR 140

| Late night run. I very full day but fun. Did some hiking with the family at Solitude. Did not want the hectic week to interfere too much with mileage so I did a longer run than what I've been used to recently. It felt good and I pushed the way back a little. Just went out and back along the Shoreline bike trail. Avg. 7:39 HR 150
