Usually I run after I put Emily on the bus which is right around 8am.  I got earlier today and went before she woke up.  It's getting warmer out, so the earlier, the better.  3 weeks in to my diet and I've lost 15 pounds.  We're doing the ketogenic diet.  I wasn't really sure what that was until I looked it up this morning.  I've just been eating whatever my wife gives me.  Apparently it is a low carb diet designed to put your body into a ketonic state so that it burns your body's fat instead of the glucose from carbohydrates.  I guess.  I have noticed that I've lost weight in one place in particular.  My tushy.  As I started running today it felt as though my shorts were going to fall off.  Probably because I no longer have a rump to hold them up.

I got up early again today.  I saw the same two people that I saw yesterday walking their dogs without leashes.  They seem to be well behaved dogs.  Yesterday the lady was throwing a stick in the canal for it to fetch.  Today it was a tennis ball.  With less than a quarter of a mile to go I saw my wife.  She said she had one more mile to go on her walk.

I got up early again and got dressed, but then I got a text from a client that they wanted to come by and pick up their plans, so I delayed my run until he came.  I'm glad I did because Emily woke up and she's still sick.  I gave her a breathing treatment and spent some time with her.  I didn't get out the door until around 10am.  Since it was hot out, I decided to just do one loop today at a slow pace.

Emily is still sick.  I got out a little after 8am this morning.  I pushed the first half mile.  Then I slowed down for the rest of the run.
