i hated running in the summer (which as you know extends through the end of october) when i lived in texas. it's perfect running weather in chicago right now. might try to go out on wednesday night.

Both clocked at about a 9:30 pace. But I didn't even get 24 hours rest between runs. So my legs are tired af right now.

I'm already up and dressed and about to head out for a quick recovery run. But man I'm fucking tired.

I bet you have to stop to cross roads and such eh? Makes your pace even more ball so hard.

Usually just in the first mile getting to the park. Or again in the last mile if I'm running home. Most of the time I only have to stop once or twice, though in either direction.

yeah buddy. I was super sick on the 21st and it knocked me all the way out for a week. Took me another week to feel better. Last time I went out, the 10th, I did five miles and it was the first time my lungs felt normal again
