Running again
I've been running on and off for more than a decade. I've used it as a way to relieve stress and by running 2 marathons, proved to myself that I can accomplish physical goals that we're unimaginable to me years ago. After my last marathon, almost 2 years ago, I haven't run very consistently. My son is now 2 and I feel guilty about running as I should be spending time with him. However, I do need time for myself. To that end, about 6 weeks ago (maybe longer), I started running every other day. I've been doing a decent job keeping this up, only missing a few days which I just made up the next day. While I'd like to run 4 days a week consistently, this every other day schedule is working out quite well. My runs are 3-5 miles and take 30-50 minutes (I'm not back down to a 9 minute mile) which is enough to get my heart going, but doesn't take that much time that I feel guilty about knocking off from work early and still get back in time to walk the dog.

Working smarter, not harder
Work has been the focus of my life for a long time, especially the 5.5 years prior to my new job. Being a self-employed contractor meant that every hour I worked, I got paid. Then when I started ReceiptWallet, I had to not only do my contract work, I had to handle support and development of ReceiptWallet which took up more time.

Closing the barn door...
About a month ago, our local Bank of America branch was robbed. My wife called me as she was leaving the area and told me that there were a lot of cop cars at the bank. Since we live in a pretty sleepy part of town, we knew something was up. I turned on my police/fire scanner (I got the scanner several years back to monitor fire communications in case there was another wildfire as the notification system is a bit slow and if I see smoke, I want to know what is going on) and heard that the bank was robbed. Wow, pretty scary. I go in the bank every week without fail.
