Still on Georgia time so I woke up early.  After having a heart attack when stepping on the scales, I headed out for a run. I could feel the altitude change after just one week away and sure felt the temperature change.

5 miles.  Avg pace 11:37.

Took the dog out for an easy recovery run after work.  Cut it down to 3 miles after 2 phone calls from work left me needing to go into the office again and fix a network issue.

After an hour in the office, headed to Gold's Gym and did 45 minutes on the stationary bike followed by 45 minutes of weight training.

Managed to fit in 5 miles between work and working at the temple.  Nasty headwind the first half of the run.  Could tell I have not eaten enough today because I had little energy.  58:13 total time.  Kept all my miles under 12 mm.

Went out to lunch at Epic this afternoon with my boss/friend to celebrate my new title of Business Analyst and to celebrate my company surviving me daily for 6 years.

Took Twilight out after work for a 1 mile warmup walk and heard Steve Ashbaker call me as I passed Chevron.  Visited with him for a couple of minutes and then headed home to drop off the dog.  As luck would have it, I got a couple of emergency calls from work and was held up another 10 minutes or so fixing the problems.

At that point I decided to just run down 7th East for 2 1/2 miles and back.  Started out at about 11:30mm. Just after the mile mark I started feeling my stomach complain about lunch, so headed over towards Gold's Gym and passed Steve A - already on his return run. I ran 2 1/2 miles at Golds on the treadmill starting at 5.0 mph and increasing .1 every 15 minutes.  Ran home afterwards.  I was glad I stopped at the gym because I had to take several breaks and ended up running home a lot lighter than I went out.

Now I am drinking hot chocolate made from almond milk, chocolate protein powder and strawberry flavoring.
