Did 3 on the treadmill before church. The weather has been nice enough to run outside but I've just been too swamped with work and just haven't felt like it.

Treadmill run between dinner and more work. At least I'm consistant. Definitely not fun to read about though...

Very confusing day. Seems like whenever I have things figured out I get thrown a curve ball. But had a nice run and overall got what I wanted done. So I must be doing something right.
