Easy Morning Run
Groin still a bit sore this morning, but the easy 4 miler seems to have loosened things up a little. Wasn’t concerned with pace, just nice to enjoy the relative quietness of the pre-rush hour traffic and watch the sun slowly rise higher in the sky. Humidity was over 90% – might as well have [...]
