A twenty year old young man from my church was killed in a car accident today. I was his scout leader, young men leader, and home teaching companion for years. Sad. So unexpected. Hug your kids tight tonight, parents. And wear a seat belt. And all my co-workers I talk to were laid off last week, so I had to mourn in silence all day at work Surreal day. I really feel for his parents and siblings. I love that kid.

| PM- did a bit of an elliptical interval workout, with 10x1min hard. Had some sore muscles from the new weightlifting I've been doing recently. I just want to get my legs better so I can run and play frisbee, honestly.

| AM- I was pretty tired today so I only did 20 min slow on elliptical, but then I did an hour of my hardest weights yet. I'm doing more and more lifts each time. Today I added bicep curl and 500m rowing.

I'm working from home while watching 4 kids next week as my wife and oldest kid are at girls' camp. I can't run and don't have a gym membership, so really won't be able to work out till the week after.
It rained today, the first significant rain in 2 weeks. Poured during the evening, up to rainfall of 4 inches per hour. This happened while attending an outdoor funeral. That made it exciting. Totalled 2 inches of rain. My grass sure needs it. Although it's supposed to rain every day till mid-week next week, so I guess our mini-drought of 2 months is over.

| I had hoped 1.5 weeks without working out would help my leg heal but it didn't seem to do much. Lifted twice this week, elliptical every weekday (10-30 min), then ran 1/2 mile on 2 days.

| AM- elliptical, then ran 2 whole miles- longest run in 2 months. Woohoo. Then tried lifting- on the hip abductor maching, I could barely push due to pain/weakness/soreness after that run.
Work is now comical. The last remaining regular person on my cube row quit so I'll be alone most days (one guy comes in about 8 hours per week). And another person on my team quit (YTD 2 laid off, 2 voluntary leave). 4 of us left, doing more work than when we had 12. And, good news, I finally got the LONG promised promotion to Senior Engineer today- yeah! But the promotion money increase is pathetically small, low single digits. Like I said, comical/ridiculous now. Things just pile on. I'm still at work today, it's 6 pm, I've been here since 7 am. I really need to stop working so much. I just find it hard to walk away from work or give a B- effort instead of A+ effort on everything.
Jeff, no need to comment about your condolences. I appreciate the thoughts. At this point, I'm just laughing to myself and shaking my head. It's funny.

| Gym at 3 pm to try to watch world cup soccer. Satellite was on the fritz so I only saw about 5 min of the first half, then the first 15 min of second half before going back to work. Elliptical plus run 1 mile. No lifting, as I felt sore/tired and didn't want to push it. I'll do it tomorrow.
