Nice run. You were smarter then I was; I ran outside in that crappy weather. I think I am going to run around the Greenbelt tomorrow afternoon. Don't know what your plan is tomorrow. Let me know.

That is pretty early to be hitting the treadmill miles. It reminds me of a hamster I had as a kid. Without fail it would run on the wheel in the early morning hours. Nice run. Looks like the injury is on the mend.

Do you lift a lot? I started up again this week after a 6-month hiatus and my quads are burning, which I am taking as a good sign.
