Nice work Adam, and way to get all that abundant amount of sleep :-) At least you got your run in and your done for the day.

I'm only doing one run today, and I finished that this morning as well.

Did you do this mostly uphill.

The way back to campus is always uphill... Nothing like leg 33 is going to be though.
