| In very early to make up for some of the lost time with the day of chores yesterday. Got a lot done today and then my new boss had me out for happy hour. Still made it home in time to get the girls to bed. Overall a productive day with a little fun thrown in for good measure. |

| Yo-yo week. Trying to get the work and home stuff set up is taking so much longer than expected. Today is my sister's birthday but I was not able to get a hold of here. I did stay home to take care of the "final" home set up. Off to the court house for registering the car, and 6 other errands. These days are almost harder than the work days. The good news is I did a one mile run with my daughter while she was riding her bike. I think it is only a matter of time before she can do a few miles. We did see two deer in that mile. Then I did a home loop. There are enough side streets that I will be able to come up with a few alternatives to the original out and back staple. 1.25 mi Avg. 9:57 HR 113
4.25 mi Avg. 7:41 HR 157

| In early to finish off something for work. Today was a crazy busy day with three meetings and lots to do between. But it was also a productive day. |

| Probably one of my worst "balanced" weeks ever. I did manage to have plenty of family time on Tuesday and Thursday (if car shopping and registration is family time)... At least with little ones any time together is good. I also managed to get a good amount done at work and feel like I am in good shape to officially start on August 1. In fact I even got a paper out today. Granted it was only an editorial but it still counts for something. The bad news is still no run. I may go out late tonight but think trying to get sleep and getting in a cooler run in the morning is the better option. Our neighbor is having us all over for drinks and snacks in a little so that should be a good end to the day. |
