## Resource

Up early and out the door! Jet lag hits! Out for a run, 7 km in 59.16, then off to the breakfast place for a small feed, and then the gym for an easy back day. Spent the day recording the basics of my course. One didn’t record the audio! Grrr! And it’s getting green out there! Catkins are here! Donate to the show!
