AM: Intermittent sleep last night. So I was pretty tired. Didn't even grab the Garmin on my way out the door... Commute run in. The weather has been so nice since the snow on Thursday... Happy Monday. As I was typing Happy Monday the ceiling in my office started leaking. I got everything out in time without loosing any electronics or paperwork!!! However, I then had a three hour meeting and have spent the rest of the day moving my office... Mi 2.5 PM: Well I got my office moved and set-up in a new location. Hopefully there are no more indoor rainstorms tomorrow... Evening stadium run with John. Mi 5 Avg. 8:44 HR 128

AM: Bombay commute run in. The weather is cool but nice and I saw a number of other runners out this morning. Although I slept about the same number of hours as last night it was more restful.

AM: Today just seems like a good day. Up early and a rare morning Suicide loop. Still in the dark but the weather was nice. It amazes me how the wind comes out of Parley's... Breakfast with the family and then off to an appointment on lower campus. The walk back up was in perfect fall weather. Mi 7 Avg. 9:01 HR 127 PM: Commute run to trick-or-treat with the girls.

AM: Commute run in. Saw a buck near research park. I have seen deer every day this week along Foothill, either running or driving. Mi 2.5 Avg. 9:41 HR 145 PM: Left foot started misbehaving again, after sitting in a talk? Not sure what that is about but I'm going to back off a little. Mi 2.5 Avg. 7:53 HR 130

| Well today was a good switch up. I slept in, a lot. Then made waffle brunch with the girls and watched some of Mary Poppins. After that I had a rare midday Suicide Loop. The weather was perfect for running. Had initially planned 15 for today but with my left foot still misbehaving since Thursday decided to stay backed off until it behaves itself. Avg. 7:58 HR 146
