| Up way too early. Messed up from the time change. Worked for a few hours and then did a run all before the family got up for church. Did the gate loop. Saw a few deer. It was nice for a run. Dressed right for running into the wind but a little hot running with it.

| Skipped run. Had to be in very early to work and did not sleep well because of the time change. They really have to get rid of it. There is no point to having daylight savings anymore...

| Finally got some sleep but was not feeling good. Coughing on and off for the last few days. I did then have a very productive work day. By the evening I was still coughing a little but sometimes running helps clear out the last little bit of a cough. So I did a nice run in perfect weather. No idea about pace as Garmin is on the fritz again... But it was good none-the-less. I even had a guy tell me to slow down that I was making him look bad. Been a really long time since that has happened...

| Was going to bail on the run today but was held accountable by a friend. Glad I got out to try and clear the head but foggy from interrupted sleep.

| Glad to finally get some sleep. Then family run. Did a run to the new lake first with the full family and then finished with pond loops by the park.
