Easy run. Average pace: 9:57.

Weather at 6:30 am: 53° F, 85% humidity, overcast, damp streets from rain overnight, no wind. It's so humid that my glasses fogged up when I quit running. Now, an hour and a half later, it's not any warmer and it's raining. My apologies to Snoqualmie. I think Denver stole your weather.

I felt much better on this run than I did running the same route on Tuesday. I felt a little hint of tightness in my calf about halfway through the run, but no pain. And it doesn't hurt now after my run like it did after my run on Tuesday. Actually, I'm a little stiff all over today from yesterday's resistance workout.

I had the dr. work on my left hamstring yesterday in addition to the right calf, because the left hamstring has been mildly irritating to me for quite some time. I'm going to go back to the dr. and get poked and prodded again tomorrow. I'm going to go a few more times in the next week or two and then quit going until the need arises again.

Good to see that you are feeling better! I'm glad there was not any pain after your run, that's a good sign that you are healing.

Yeah for healing :) That poking and prodding are GREAT for the runners legs :)

Congratulations. Yes, I would like my weather back please. But it's the thought that counts. :)

So great that it's getting better.

Nice, nice weather for running. Lucky you!

Ugh! Nasty humidity level; you really did take our weather! So glad the progress on the leg continues.
