Woke up at 6:00am, radio was saying that the
outside was 41F, not much temperature rise expected then rain will start in

while since I don't use a cooler. Went to work, stayed until 10:00pm then

Woke up at 8:00am again. A bit warmer than
yesterday. Went for another 8 miles run but I wanted to do a bit more so I
kept running. However, I ran out of gas and could not go anymore after 10
miles so I had to walk back to my car. I think I put too much effort on the
project for the past two weeks. Went to the office to practice saxophone,
and come home after 8:00pm but did get groceries. The gas price became lower
than $3.00/gallon, first time in a while. I could not believe my eyes!
Stayed up until midnight, headed to bed. Need to get ready for the new
