It was deceptively cold today with sunshine and a strong north wind. I did my housing school loop plus for 4.9 miles. My legs were a little tight, and my left knee was a little sore. They loosened up after a mile or so though. It was a good run to start the week.

Half mile warmup with my youngest and then Walgreens-Wabash loop. I tried doing the loop backwards, and I had to think about which way to go a couple times. I'm so used to doing it one way every time. It was a good run.

I did my housing school loop plus and a couple more blocks to make it 5 miles for the day. The wind was cold, but it was a good run overall. Feet were a little sore, but they loosened up after a couple miles.
