Left for work this morning at 1:15 AM to support NASA's Ares I-X launch.  Hopefully it goes ok.  If it flies today, I travel to Florida tomorrow for a couple of weeks work doing disassembly.  I almost feel like Kory, waking up this early for work.  Or Davy on the days he does his crazy 2 am 30 mile runs.

Recovery is going fine, other than being tired from only a few hours sleep.  Sore hamstrings, but everything else is great.  I might, **might** go for a short run tomorrow.  Or maybe not.  Doesn't really matter- not planning on any miles this week.

Good luck with the flight. I was watching some stuff on the news about it this morning. Sorry about the travel again. Congrats on making it through your first ultra relatively unscathed.

It's actually not a bad time to go to Florida, since it's snowing here this morning.

Hope things go well. If you do have to go to Florida at least you'll have good weather. Great run on Saturday, very impressive. I hope you have got plenty of rest since then? Take care Jon and I hope things go well again.

I saw that crack about my crazy early morning runs. Fly rocket fly! Of course you guys are all too young...didn't live through all those moon shots like I did. I even remember the Gemini missions.
