Just wasn’t quite feeling this run. Never bad, possibly the humidity, but just never quite got into a groove despite the nice company.

Shorts and t-shirt!

Nice 60 degree weather this morning. I believe Wednesday’s run by way of comparison is scheduled to be in the 40s…

Oops! Quick catch up.

Wednesday: Muggy and humid plus little sleep on Mon night/Tues morning meant that I was dragging bad on Wednesday with Ben and John. Cut out the extra mile at the end and called it a day.

Friday: Just me and Ben doing a make-up run since we knew we were both unavailable on Saturday.

Monday: Over the weekend I did some weights involving legs, and one of my calves has been a little tight since then. Stretched it out really good, then after a 5-minute walk started out slow (12min/mile) on the treadmill and slowly built it up a bit. No pain at all and now it feels MUCH better.

Almost time to swap out the shoes!

Just me and Ben this morning — Steve started with us but his ankle was bothering him so he just went about 6 blocks and then turned off towards home — and the cool temperatures were back. Yay!
