I'm starting to see daylight at the end of the tunnel and think I must have been hit by some kind of virus.

I was able to walk the dogs for about 20 minutes this morning and threw in a couple blocks of running and didn't feel too bad. I'm hoping to take a couple of hours off from work this afternoon and get some running/walking in at Wheeler Farm and then do the same thing tomorrow.

I think next week I might try to run 4 miles easy each day. My body needs physical activity and it is going to be a very stressful week at work. I had gotten approval to sign up for 3 days of a 'virtual conference' Wednesday through Friday on SQL Server and was going to be working nights on top of that to stay caught up on work. Then my boss realized that the Project Manager for our current product development will be in the office from Michigan on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and I need to be in those meetings all day long - particularly because their is a high chance she won't be available since she is on long term bed rest for her pregnancy. So - should be totally nuts. Good thing I only live 2 miles from work or I would have to sleep here.

5 miles around Wheeler Farm at lunch time. It was sure pretty outside.

PM - Took my brother-in-law out to dinner as a thank you for some projects he did for me. Ran home from the restaurant.
