AM: Slept in a little. Out the door with Kaitlyn after breakfast. Nice and cool, low 50s. Then it started to rain. We forged ahead but by one mile there was some small hail so we turned back. The stroller has a nice cover that Kaitlyn didn't get wet but I didn't want to push my luck. Quads and knee sore, right calf still tight. Mi 2-R3

PM: Had to come into work to set-up for Tues. Was able to get out for a few more miles. Same aches and pains as this morning. Not as bad as I was expecting but still noteworthy. Just ran from Popperton to MG and back. Didn't end up going home until 11:30 last night though so we'll see how I'm doing in the morning. Mi 4-R2
