| Up at 3AM and for whatever reason just went with it. Got one assignment done and then went for a sunrise run. Saw three deer and a blue heron standing on a platform in the middle of the lake. It was a good morning.

| To sleep a little ealier. Met up with church friend again. Same as a couple weeks ago. Saw three deer during the run. It was super humid this morning. It actually got foggier by the end. It was pre-sunrise. The moon was awesome but I guess tomorrow is the "super moon".

| The group is growing. Ran with two friends from church this morning. It is good to have the company and the motivation not to skip a run. It is sad but I think I've skipped more runs this year than any 5 year period combined. But at least this mornings run was good.
