Early morning- out in the dark. My headlamp batteries need to be recharged after sitting in the bottom of my running basket all summer. They started out bright, but quickly dimmed- isn't that the story of my life?
The good news is that Tyrone the tapeworm stayed at home today. I really appreciated that. I think he was happy that I fed him a few blocks of chocolate before bed, so he gave me the morning off. It's a compromise I could get used to.
I left my garmin at home. I had it out and getting satellites online, then locked up the house and by the time I realized I left in inside, it was too much hassle to get out. I felt like I ran a good tempo today- at least that was what my effort told me. I did have a little trouble with my knee towards the end. Could be the increase mileage or the increased tempo- could be both. I'll take it easy and slow tomorrow and Friday so I'll be good to go for a nice long run Saturday.
I did get to enjoy a beautiful sunrise, and although it was super humid, it wasn't hot. It's going to be in the 90s again today with horrid humidity so I am grateful that I got my run in early.
