| Slept in and then a very busy family day. Started with a choir performance, then home before lunch out with friends from church, and then Click, Clack, Moo at the SLAC. Unfortunately had to end the day working instead of with a run...

| Slept in on accident. Up too late last night and went straight through my alarm and then into lab to a typical Monday. Ask Garfield, that's not a good thing... Had to work more at night so only did a quick treadmill run. |

| Well today I turned 35. It is amazing how quickly time goes by and that it is anything but constant. It really does seem like each year is faster and I am honestly blending this December with last. I just cannot believe it has been a whole year. AM: In very early into work but took a mid-campus commute. Mi 4 Avg. 9:23 HR 164? PM: Since today is also my daughter's birthday we spent the evening as a family at the zoo to see the Christmas lights, the nocturnal animals out and about, and Santa. After cupcakes went on a stadium loop with John. Mi 5 Avg. 8:46 HR 127! what a contrast in HR from this morning.

| Well this week has not turned out to plan. But it is what it is and the world keeps spinning. Did a Suicide Loop and it was much colder than the 27F the iPhone told me. But it was still enjoyable. I am glad I got it in. |

| Slept in and then errands. Worked from home after that. Took a late afternoon south loop. I wore shorts and t-shirt. Probably a little cold for that but it felt good. I pushed this run a little more than lately. Avg. 7:14 HR 150

| With the errands yesterday morning I had to make up some time and worked this morning. Then after lunch want for a Memory Grove loop from home. Shorts and t-shirt again. Today it was much more appropriate. I cannot believe it is almost Christmas and the weather is still near perfect for running. Avg. 8:12 HR 139
