Slept in a little. Been going to sleep earlier mostly. Did an early AM run. Then to church and straight till shopping until dinner. Still trying to find that new routine. I did some bigger surges in this run but kept it shorter.

| Welcome back Mondays. Feels like I've been in a reality bubble. Definitely the strangest few weeks as far as schedule, activities, etc. However, things have to get to whatever the new normal is going to be soon. So up early. Out and back and then off to work. Avg. 9:01 HR 123

| So yesterday was my first full day on the new campus. My office is starting to look like an office. My lab is still an empty room but that will change soon. Did the O&B to the pool. Need to start stopping at the pool and doing a few laps as well. Avg. 8:26 HR 136

| Nothing too special. I thought I'd have a few more days of helping from home but things are already starting to pile up on campus so I was in all day. Just did the O&B before I headed out. Avg. 9:19 HR 123

| PM: Well today was a bit different. As I'm now starting to have deadlines I actually had to work before going into work this morning instead of running. It was a long day but I finally feel like I am checking stuff off of my to due list. After the girls went down I went for an evening run. The neighborhood has so much more life. Both human and animal. I saw the most people I've seen since we moved in. Also, I saw a copperhead. Now I'd seen rattlers running in Utah so seeing a venomous snake is not completely new but it does get the heart racing a little. I looked at it and it looked at me and we both continued on our way.

| Happy Friday. Up to run before work. Was planning my usual "jog" out and back. Then about a mile in saw a guy come round the corner in front of me. It took a good half mile to catch him. He was doing a tempo run. It was good to get the faster pace in. Then I ran the next 1-2 miles with him before heading home. His name was Scott and he filled me in on a couple other local runners. One who's brother owns a Fleet Feet. Avg. 8:03 HR 144

| Pushed it a little again. A good thing about the move. I can find Italian ice again. For some reason the grocery stores in Salt Lake did not sell it. I asked three different chains. Luckily for me Publix had it buy one get one free so I had a nice icy treat after today run. Avg. 7:22 HR 149
