| Long, long day. Up way before alarm but had a lot to do so just started my day. Ended up having way too much to do and not finishing until 2AM... At least I got most of it done.

| Slept in to get 5 hours sleep. Up too late last night (this morning). Did end up doing an evening run and saw three deer. Really perfect running weather lately.

| Actually up by my alarm clock. First time that has happened in a while. Even with sleeping in yesterday I had woken up two or three times before the alarm clock. It was another perfect running temp. Ran with Josh, who was a little bit sore from his half on Sunday so we took it easier.

| Very poor night of sleep. Nice and crisp out this morning, 30F "Realfeel". The run felt good only saw two guys walking their dogs. Peaceful.
Happy Thanksgiving

Added a family mile after the soup kitchen. They were on their bikes this time so had to push it.

| Went to sleep a little earlier last night, but because of that woke up the first time at 3AM... Did get back to sleep and then did my run at dawn. I saw a coyote, a hawk, and generally had a relaxing run in the crisp (~30F) morning air. I was moving slowly but had fun out there. Then into work. Trying to catch up with a number of items that are on my list for the end of the year and wanted to take advantage of the nearly empty office. Hopefully will at least leave a little early.

| Woke up at my "normal" time but made it back to sleep and got a full night. Ran with the family on bikes. It was chilly but felt good. Then a full day of errands and chores. Now off to watch the Iron Bowl.
