Start the Week

​Today was a good day. Work went well, though it felt like most of the groups were pretty uppity—almost like it’s a full moon. Hopefully, they’re a little calmer tomorrow.

​Came home to complete some requirements and then took the boat back to storage. On the way home, grabbed dinner with my wife at a new-to-us spot recommended by my in-laws; would definitely go back. Finished a few more requirements after getting back, and now it's bedtime.

​Didn't get a run in today, so I'm planning a long one tomorrow (around 4–5 miles). Weirdly enough, I'm actually looking forward to it.
