Comments: The rain and exhaustion conspired to keep me from heading out at the usual time. I got myself together and headed out the door at 9:30 or so, plenty of time for the heat and humidity to get percolating really good.
All the up an down on the stairs the past few days -- approx 35 stories per day -- made themselves known today. My quads are not happy and I had a general stiffness to contend with as well. Weirdly, though. The first two miles felt the worst but I ran them the fastest.
The muggy morning took it's toll and this felt like a real slog but overall this went well.
