Saturday (3/1): I ran 8 miles in downtown Charleston with coworkers Evan & Rachel. It was a little chilly and windy at the start, but by the end it was starting to feel nice. We slept in a little and started at 7 AM so we could have daylight for the entire run.

I’ve been sleeping in on my morning runs too and going at 7ish. It helps a lot, may as well do it now before the heat gets intense and we *have* to run at 6ish. Great job getting the work in this week!
Exactly, eventually we will have to beat the sun again! Thanks…
