AM: 77F, 91%. 12 @ 7:54 AP. When I stepped out of my font door it felt like a warm fart cloud outside. So I'm glad I decided not to attempt a workout. Instead, I drove to the trail, slogged around for 95 minutes, and when I came back I had a parking ticket on my windshield. Whaaaa? Apparently you can't park at any parks/city trailheads before sunrise. I've parked there a hundred times, and I don't think I've ever arrived AFTER sunrise. So, a $35 training run. Fortunately there's a Walmart parking lot a quarter mile away. If I had more spare time in my life, I'd devote it to getting that city ordinance revoked. But since I don't, I'll just write a smart ass comment on the memo line of the check when I mail it in.
** Never mind, I'm fighting it. I researched the ordinance. Curfew hours are 11pm to 5am and my ticket was written @ 6:55. The ordinance allows individual parks to set more restrictive operating hours, and this one does, but they may not change hours of curfew violations. My ticket quotes "park curfew" hours violation. I go to court in 2 weeks.
PM: snuck in 30 min / 3.5 TM miles at the end of the day.
