AM- longest run since Western. 10 miles even in 77 min or so.

It was 52 deg this morning. It felt freezing cold. Coldest morning by 10 deg since May or so.

AM 6

Today is one of those long days. I left home at 6:30 for a run, then had 9 hours of training at work, then 2 hours of catching up at work on the work I've been missing due to training. Now I'm heading to church for Mutual night, then a meeting after that. I'll probably get home between 9:30 to 10 pm, which means it's over a 15 hour day. At least it keeps me out of trouble, even if I don't see my family.

AM- 8

PM- ward campout. Whole family came, but Marci and I drove separate cars. This proved fortuitous as none of our kids got to bed before midnight, and then the 2 year old woke up screaming and could not be calmed. I drove home from 1:30-2:30 am with her. Hope Marci and the other 4 fare well in the morning. I'm not sure Marci knows how to take down the tent. And I'm very bummed I'm going to miss the huge breakfast, including bacon. But it's 3 am now and I've been sleep deprived all week. I think I'm going to bed now.

Lunch- went to the gym with 1 kid while the rest were still camping. 6 mile run. Felt good. This is the first week since June that I've run 6 days, and my highest mileage by 10 mpw.
