I slept in, needing a rest from the load of the week. Two more people died Friday in crashes, this is an incredible run of bad news and it's taxing in the newsroom. It takes an emotional toll and the stress builds up physically, and my body kind of crashed last night. 

But when I woke up it was dry and gray, and I took my time and then ran out Tracyton Beach Road. A decent pace once I got moving, though my legs are feeling a little heavy. Mike and I are going to try for a longer run tomorrow, maybe trails if there's time. 58:25

You've talked me out of moving to Bremerton anytime soon.

Just think of how low housing prices will be this summer! It's going to be boom time soon.
