Really, really foggy morning. Got to the run a little later than normal (thanks for waiting, guys!) but that meant less stretching than I’d wanted, and also ended up slowing down a tiny bit for my last (normally faster) mile because my footing never felt 100% sure and my glasses were forever covered in moisture. Not a bad run, just trickier.

Very windy today—a cold front to displace the unseasonably warm weather was sweeping in—but still another shorts morning. Which is a victory.

Forgot to charge the Garmin after last Friday (oops) and discovered Wednesday morning that it was more or less dead. Pulled out the old Timex Ironman and ran the regular route, so if it wasn’t exactly 6.3 it was close enough. Just me and John, which meant a nice brisk run, which is fun.
