| Was nice to catch-up on sleep the last two nights. Still so much work to do but had some family time today. Did a run after Sandra's run. It was cold enough that I saw my breath... Nice evening to get out.

| Decided I've had enough being lazy. Way too many skipped runs in 2014... 11 hr day at work and then after dinner did a 4 miler in near perfect temps.

| Up too late last night working and then had trouble falling asleep. Did sleep in for more hours in bed but feel less rested. Had a trunk-or-treat at the church and got in 10-miles. Feels good to be getting in some runs again, even as the work picks up. Did the hillier loop by my house.

| Up 30 min before my alarm. Actually felt like I finally made some headway on the paper I've been working on so feel more rested even though less sleep. Only two of us this morning. Not sure if the 40s scared away my new Southern counterparts... Saw one deer and a few others out running.

| This was a long week. Felt like I finally started getting some stuff done though. Had a little get together with the other faculty and then a nice quiet family evening. However, no run.

| I'm a robot. Up at my normal time and then worked until the family got up. Then we did our family run and spent the whole day together. Very low key day.
