Had a nice run in Austin TX on the portion of the Brushy Creek trail that is still under construction.  We ran early in the morning with Lori walking the dogs and me running.

Today was a crazy day in terms of schedule.  Worked all day yesterday, came home and got a couple of hours of sleep before going back to start an experiment at midnight that lasted for the next 10 hours.  When I finally got home I tried to sleep, but can only sleep for a couple of hours since it's the wrong time of day.

Ran the Greenway/Ridgetop Road/Ghost Hill Road loop in Trinity.

My uncle is visiting this weekend and he walked 1/2 of the loop while I ran it.  It was cooler this morning and I'd had a cup of coffee which livened me up enough to run a bit faster than I'd done this Greenway/Ridgetop Road/Ghost Hill Road loop before.

Today I went on a hike with my uncle Jim at Hurricane Creek Park.  It was a great day to get out and do some bushwhacking.  We covered about 5.5 miles, including a rarely used 2 mile out and back called the creekside trail that was pretty overgrown and hard to follow. That side spur aside though, the trail was really nicely maintained and it's a great place to take a day hike.

I had a terrible night's sleep last night.  Woke up at 1:00 and just couldn't fall asleep again.  It makes the entire next day a miserable slog.   Did the Greenway/Ridgetop Road/Ghost Hill Road loop after work
