Then a very hectic day, meetings/talks/etc straight through to the end of the day. However, do not want to fall behind in mileage so headed out for a second loop, solo.

| Made it to my alarm but had to be in work early. Storm came through and made things nice and humid for my run. Did give me a nice light show in the distance and then a little bit of drizzle during the final two miles.

| Wow! It was finally under 70s at the start of my run. It even stayed more or less overcast the entire run. Felt good. Took it a lot easier than last Saturday.
