| 3x to the top of Bald Hill. The road was slippery and mucky. Was consistently under 8 minutes all three times. Probably because I was fairly fresh from the rest this week. |

| Saw lots of birds today. A red-breasted nuthatch, a house finch, maybe even a purple finch (but probably not), an acorn woodpecker, and the usual juncos, chickadees, mourning doves, jays, and sapsuckers.

| Commute to work.
Found a dead spotted towhee in the driveway. Someone must have hit it with a car. They kind of look like an evil robin with their red eyes.
At barley hill, saw a gorgeous pheasant near the fence. I expected him to take off running when I rode by, but he just stood there. Then when I stopped, he got nervous and flew across the rode squawking. I started riding again, but I heard some other squawking in the distance. Stopped and saw another pheasant way out in the field farther up on the hill. I wouldn't have noticed him without the sympathy noise. |

| Commute to work. Gorgeous day!
Setup an account on a few days ago. Woohoo I have 3 whole friends! I don't anticipate that I will spend much time there. It does look like a good way to get connected with long lost friends, *if* they happen to be on there too. |

Paula and I have been downloading episodes of Dexter from iTunes. It is about a serial killer forensics expert who kills for good not evil. Sounds pretty far fetched, but it keeps us entertained...when we aren't grossed out or cringing. |

| Running 30:00 [1] | |
| shoes: New Balance1122 sz 10 w D |
| Short run at Philomath HS with Annie. The grass has firmed up with the drier weather. Just before I got home, I saw a coyote trotting across my neighbor's yard. It is the first one that I have seen in the neighborhood. They have chickens in a fenced area, so I wonder if Mr. coyote was up to no good.
Time to order some new running shoes. The tops are wearing out. |

| Commute to work. I still remember how to ride a bike. Saw some mallards in the standing water in the grass at Barley Hill. Usually I see geese out there. |

| Easy peasy week to rest the knees.
Got the teeth cleaned yesterday, otherwise, I would have ridden my bike. I had her use cinnamon fluoride, but suggested that they should have fluoride infused cinnamon buns. It would be a big boost to the business! |

| Running 45:00 [1] | |

| Ran to Bald Hill and met up with Paula and Annie there. My right knee acted a little funny, so I cut the run short and walked the rest of the time. |
