Went out to lunch at Epic this afternoon with my boss/friend to celebrate my new title of Business Analyst and to celebrate my company surviving me daily for 6 years.

Took Twilight out after work for a 1 mile warmup walk and heard Steve Ashbaker call me as I passed Chevron.  Visited with him for a couple of minutes and then headed home to drop off the dog.  As luck would have it, I got a couple of emergency calls from work and was held up another 10 minutes or so fixing the problems.

At that point I decided to just run down 7th East for 2 1/2 miles and back.  Started out at about 11:30mm. Just after the mile mark I started feeling my stomach complain about lunch, so headed over towards Gold's Gym and passed Steve A - already on his return run. I ran 2 1/2 miles at Golds on the treadmill starting at 5.0 mph and increasing .1 every 15 minutes.  Ran home afterwards.  I was glad I stopped at the gym because I had to take several breaks and ended up running home a lot lighter than I went out.

Now I am drinking hot chocolate made from almond milk, chocolate protein powder and strawberry flavoring.

Sorry I did not note our visit in my entry, I'm not good with entries. Mostly what you get from me any more are random numbers and incomplete sentences!

It was really nice to see you again also:)
