| Up to get a run in before making breakfast for the girls and church. Then straight into errands until after 2pm and then chores... Not the funnet of Sundays. Did have a pretty good run.

| My circadian clock is a strange thing. Sat/Sun no alarm and I sleep about 7-8 hr each night. Today I have an alarm but still wake up at 4:02 A.M. The run this morning was good. I heard an owl and was trying to figure out where it was when I turn to my left and there is a deer standing there, about 5 ft. It didn't run or anything. Then about another 1 mi down the road saw the armidillio. Not sure if it was the same one as the other day. It was in a different spot. This time it was on my side of the water and walking along the sidewalk. I was in the steet. It stopped and stood up on its hind legs. When I stopped to get a look it scurried back into the bush. Interesting little creatures. The wild life had nothing to do with lack of people this morning. Not sure what it was but I saw the most people I've seen.
Have a great week.

| Unlike Monday there was hardly anybody out this morning. I did see the armidillo again. But this time it was becuase he hand't made it across the street. It's a shame. I did manage to see a deer and I forget to mention that there is usually a heron I see as well.

| Nothing to special, except that today was a long day. On campus from 6:30 am until 9:30 pm... At least the end was becuase of a dinner with some important people. The run as usual was my out and back from home.

| Another LSD Saturday. It is good to be getting these longer runs in. The first part is the same but I do get out of my suburb into the next this way. See a little something different. Becuase of the 6 am start instead of the usual < 5 am start no deer but I did see the heron. This time it flew up to a tree and and a hawk both going out and back. The coolest part was the misty lakes. It was even cool this morning.
