AM - easy 6 miles before work - little stiff to start but moved along after that at a pretty reasonably clip. Lots on my mind this morning unrelated to running, sorted some things out and was finished before I realized it. One of the many things I enjoy about running...

PM - belated start and rather extremely muggy conditions this evening made for an unpleasant running environment. Stayed on the light and easy side and ran just under 11 miles up Belcher by Innisbrook and across Klosterman Road and around by Helen Ellis Hospital in Tarpon Springs and then back down the trail past the Chimp Farm where the apes and orangutans were already snoozing, under the tunnel of Alt 19 past Well Springs park, through Crystal Beach and back by the high school.

The quietude of running is quintessential for sorting out the quotidian quandries that life presents us; I hope it's all good stuff that you're sorting out.

Excellent alliteration, once again Bam. Not all good stuff to sort, but sorted it has been.
