I felt like going for a run given today's weather - it's starting to warm up and the days of good running weather will start giving way to heat. I decided to get in at least 5, but ended up seeing if I was good for 6. I think I was up until about the 5-mile mark, when my legs really started getting tired. My knees hurt too, but the surface here is mostly concrete so it's hard on the joints. As much as I dislike running on treadmills, it was easier on the joints, and as a result, I'll probably go for the double shot of Celebrex this afternoon.

Of course, the jackrabbit start in the first mile probably wasn't the best of ideas either, but I was trying to keep up with someone else, who as it turns out, is generally faster than me. Oh well. I have a little under 9 months left. This tour is going inexorably, but it will end one way or the other.
