| Needed to start this week off better than last week. Did an evening run after a day of family fun. Perfect running weather.

| Not making the same mistakes as the last two weeks. Up early for a sunrise run. It was crisp out. Saw three deer, the blue heron, but no other runners. Now for a solid day of writting. I need to make this a regular thing.

| Another beautiful running morning. Up a little after 4 A.M. no wildlife but I did see 7 other runners out. So far the week is much improved from the last few.

| Pretty cold morning. I forget that just like the humididty makes the hotter, hotter. It also makes the colder, colder. I did still see 5 other runners out but no wildlife.

| Foggy this morning. It was a great run though. Saw 5 deer and 8 other runners. 1 guy that I saw twice even yelled over to me how today was "the perfect temperature" for running, and I agreed. Went behind the gate and hit those larger hills. Had own hard surge toward the end but otherwise LSD.
