    I managed to drag myself out early this morning for a run before work. It was nice and cool for a change while still bright and clear.

    I wanted to push the distance a bit more today. I only did one hill so the elevation was a bit lower. The forecast wasn’t as good as yesterday but it turned out very nice. There were lots of runners out, families on the Taff Trail and people up the Garth. I felt good all…
