There have been a few hiccups getting settled in my new job, but things are going well and I'm more excited about my work than I have been for a decade or so.

I went home at lunch time and ran the water tank hills. It's great to work so close to home now. It felt really good to run again. I have access to the showers in building K now, and checked them out today. The Novell fitness center is much nicer, but they're not bad. It will be nice to settle into a running routine again. I hope that happens soon.

I almost felt like a runner again this morning. Larry, Wayne and I ran on the canal road this morning. Larry's wife Jolene joined us for the first part of the run.

The weather started out cold but it wasn't long before the sun came up. What a beautiful morning for a run. We actually averaged under a 9:00 pace for the first time in a while. I pushed one mile in 7:11 in the middle, but it didn't come as easily as it should have.

My left Achilles is hurting just enough to be a nuisance.
