No run, just time for church. Woke up at 4AM hoping to get it done in time for an evening run but even with the last start did not wrap up until 11PM, too late or a run...

Wiped out from the hard work weekend but today was swamped and just as busy. Managed to squeeze in a night run.

Morning run with Ty and Josh. Usual loop. It was chilly this morning, below 50F. Josh got to meet Meb at a book signing yesterday. Sounds like he is a great guy and easy to talk to.

Ran with Josh and then a busy but productive and fun day. Got two big things done at work and ended the day at an evening slow boil sponored by our neighborhood with live music... Everyday should be like this.

The deer were out in force today, saw 4 in two different spots. It was perfect temps again, 50F out the door. Nice start to the day. Have a great weekend!

Barefoot run on beach in Destin, FL. It's amazingly clean and was a beautiful day. Did get a couple blisters but still great. Then swimming, shopping, and meals with the family.
