It had been awhile since I ran my housing school loop, so I did that today. It felt good. Total time was around 28:30.

A quick 3.2 on my Walgreens-Wabash short loop. It has been really nice the past few days after temps in the 90s. The idea of cities and towns being heat islands was evident today. As I neared the edge of town where there is a big open soybean field, it was noticeably cooler. When I turned left into the subdivision, I could feel the heat again. I also met some dogs at the end of my run and didn't get a final time.

I ran my Lincoln-Prairie grass power station route plus I added another mile in the middle. It was a run as the sun was going down again. I felt pretty good.

I think it was 3, but my Wyze band is not cooperating right now.
