Yesterday we drove from Arlington to Secaucus with a car full of people. It was Nora's first road trip, a 5 hour drive. There was quite a bit of traffic between DC and Baltimore, but once we reached Delaware the road cleared up. We stopped for dinner at our usual stop, the welcome center in Delaware.

It was great to see the Zane family again, and for everybody to be together. Tomorrow is Julian's birthday.

After Monday's 5 mile run I waited two days until I ran again. I felt me left knee during the day, but with tonight's run I think it has reasonably recovered. One more recovery break and then it should be fine.

For the first time since Nora was born I ran more than 4 miles. I created a new route through Ballston and back over the Custis trail. It's 5 miles and the Custis trail is beautiful. The weather was gorgeous today -- high 70s -- and the run was great.

I need to be careful and only slowly increase my mileage. Wednesday I'll run 4 miles again.

Sasha and I were getting ready to go for a walk when I saw a new icon flashing on my phone. It was an emergency warning for a potential tornado nearby. It gave us enough time to clean the balcony and of course we stayed inside.

Interestingly, I received the warning email only at 4:06 pm.

We had some pretty heavy weather for 20 minutes but the worst seems to have passed. We still have electricity and internet, also.

Today I signed up for a 5k, so I was extra motivated. I slept only 5,5 hours but ran in 40 minutes.

Today was a day off, so it was easy to find time for a run.

This was my first run since Milan and Nadia arrived Friday evening. We didn't sleep very well since Nora has a cold -- her first one -- and she woke up several times crying.

I ran 43 minutes, felt strong. In that time I also did my 12 pushups.
