First off, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the kind comments on yesterday's post. Seriously you guys are the best.

This morning I decided it had been far too long since I started a day with a morning run so I dragged myself out of bed at 6. This is why I love the days I work from home because I got to sleep in until 6 instead of waking up at 4:30 to run.

It was a little bit sunnier than I expected and plenty hot and humid, but I knocked out a nice 5K in about 29 minutes. I almost managed to hold negative splits, but a hill in mile three slowed me down.

Mile 1: 9:34
Mile 2: 9:11
Mile 3: 9:19
.11: 57 seconds

Still, there's no better way to start the day than with a run! Now I'm off to take care of a million and one work things. I'm out of the office for the bulk of next week at a conference in Philly, so I have lots and lots of stuff to get done.

Happy Friday!
