3 of 4 Hell Week classes completed! Monday’s still remains the most difficult, of what we experienced.

Last day with weather in the 80s in this strange little warm streak. Back to 70s and lower tomorrow I guess.

Weather’s slipping back down into the 79s today. Work has been crazy busy.

Arc Raiders, a game I got to help play test, finally released yesterday, so that’s going to absorb much of my weekend.

A nice sleep in this morning, with no alarm clocks. No OT workout since yesterday’s close out for Hell Week was quite enough.

Headed out for some baked goodies…then I’ll get a jump start on chores between rounds of Arc Raiders!

Monday…let’s see what happens!
 
With Hell Week successfully out of the way for the year, that means right back to runs. Group training for the LA (Half) Marathon will be starting up soon, so workouts and run schedule will adjust accordingly. Aaaaand of course, change in time bring earlier sunsets…so less time to run after work. Still got it done though!

The win streak continues this week in fantasy football. A close match, only winning by 6 points, but I’ll take it! This brings me to 5-4 and solidly middle of the pack.
