afternoon sun
i had a rare opportunity to get out for a run during the afternoon. the sun was so bright…i had to wear shades. temps were only around 30 but the sun made it feel much warmer. i headed down comanche then up university. as i passed by the local elementary school, the crossing guard stood in the intersection and held up his stop sign to make sure i could pass safely. we exchanged pleasantries and i thanked him for his help.
i ran up university to uw-w and turned around to head for home. the route is fairly hilly and i noticed on the way home that my left shin was a bit tight. i made it home fine but may need to take a day off to let it relax a bit. at this point, i’d prefer not to aggravate it any further. regardless, i managed six miles in a few ticks north of fifty minutes.
