Just focusing on sleep. Had a few loose ends to tie up and then in the afternoon was off to the airport. I'm actually now in New Orleans. Everyone on the homefront and myself included seem to be getting back to normal. No running while I'm here. I didn't want to push my luck so I left my running stuff at home. This is the first time I've ever done that. Really stinks as this meeting has 40,000 attendees and has a 5K race on Tues morning but I didn't want to tempt myself as I know I have no self control. Right now get healthy and when I'm back to my "normal" routine next Monday I'll give it another go... So I may not bothering updating until then. But then again why not at least it allows me to think about running for a few minutes each day even if I'm not doing it. Hey at this point I'll take what I can get...
