Passed the kidney stone this afternoon with no problem - so no longer have to have that worry hanging over my head.

2 miles to the Post Office and back with the dog, followed by 6 miles on the Trax Trail down to where it had a fire last night and back home.

Yesterday was a killer day at work and no breaks except for an exciting Condo Board Meeting (no sarcasm at all there) from 7 a.m until midnight when I finally crashed.

Tons of meetings today and I know I still need to do a couple of hours worth of work tonight, but after the meetings ended I came home, played with the dog, bugged my son, then headed out to run up to the gym on 13th East. Threw in a few hill repeats down to Creek Road and back and then took an hour to do a full body work out at the gym.  Then I ran up 13th East to 9400 South and down towards the quarry.  I finally explored a paved trail that runs between the ampitheater and the golf course on the east and Wally World and the new condos on the west.  It is about a mile long and has some gentle hills on it.  There is a killer switchback down to the condos that I might use for some really tough hill repeats one day.  Ended up taking the dog out for a one mile cooldown for a total of 9.5 miles running.

I was going to get more of a run done this morning, but as I left the condo association, I noticed some car had smashed into one of our brick lightposts and had to wait for the cops to come and give me a case number and then talk to other board members. 2.25 quick miles with the dog.

Family reunion this morning and this afternoon.

Working now.  Hopefully I will get some more running in tonight.
