| Not the most restful of nights. Woke up a few times before my alarm so just got up. Feeling better than Saturday though. Even though the rain barely glazed us it was very humid this morning.

| Still up before alarm. Yesterday turned out to be productive but long, full 12 hr day... This morning was ok. Saw a lot of people running in the neighborhood (11). Probably all try to beat the heat although there is no beating the humidity. Nice sweat going even on this slow run.

| Well the insanity continues. Up early and I worked ~15 hr today only taking time to eat and this run. Since I was writing from home I didn't even have commute time. I did get to run with my wife at least which as the only real break of the day. Did not finish but got a big chunk done.
