| Strange morning out. Very pretty sunrise in a very cloudy sky. The wind was doing some very interesting things with these wispy clouds. It was so humid that it was really raining down just condensing before your eyes. It lead to a beautiful rainbow. With a mile to go it did start pouring the most refreshing cold rain. Happy Friday.

| Slept in but paid for it. Ran in what turned out to be the worst part of the day. Even though the temps were mid-70s at the start the RealFell/Heat index was in the mid-90s. I slowed down considerably over the duration of the run. It was also my longest in awhile. With both those things said it felt good to be out there pushing again.
