| What can I say? Been busy, New Orleans, then home to take care of my daughter as my wife was sick, then to Chicago and back home. Needless to say in addition to some continued pain in my knee other things have been weighing heavy on my mind. However, I was jolted to a reality that no matter how hard you work that if you do not take care of what is important to you there is an emptiness. The good news is that I've been able to take care of what my family needs, the bad news is that I have been able to take care of my self. Again to The Balance, find it again and do what I can when I can without worrying about what hasn't been finished... Today's run was just a commute run into lab as Sandra needed the car. |

| Treadmill run to get the muscles warmed for my stretches. Today talked with my boss about my grant plans. Big deadlines coming up as well as 3-weeks to our due date so things are going to get interesting... balance is all I can chant to myself. |

| Trying to get back into the groove. It is amazing that in the past I was running 80+ miles per week and made it work. While right now I don't feel like I have enough time to get the work and family done much less run. It is a strange thing time and our perception of what to do with it. Or maybe it is just that I take on too much. In any case I will do what I can as that is all one can do. Commuter run into lab. |

| Treadmill run to get warmed up for stretching... Nothing too noteworthy today, just taking it one thing at a time. |

| Longest run in three weeks. I took it off from work-work and did home-work. The day was good in that I spent it with family. In the morning Kaitlyn and I did errands and chores. She helped me rake the yard and make sweet potato stew for guests we had tonight. During her nap I did a run up and down Foothill. |
