Ninety-five percent humidity that's crazy! The air definitely had a "thickness" to it this morning.

My legs were heavy and I really didn't ever feel like I got going. I also suspect myself of subconsciously holding back since I have no idea what's in store for me at this morning's PT session. The only thing I've heard over and over is that Dani, my therapist, isn't "warm and fuzzy". She even said something to that effect when we met ... and seemed proud of it. That's fine with me - so long as her methods work and are able to get me back on track.

I spent much of this morning's run thinking over a memo that I have to write for the CEO. Although the topic is highly technical, I had the good fortunate of sitting through Dr. Dave Stewart's class at BYU that was exactly on point. The problem for me is that the class was thirteen years ago! At least it's a good base to work from. I'm enjoying the fact that I'm slightly ahead of the high-paid consultants on this topic. Of course they have national experts to drawn upon when necessary. Okay ... enough work talk on my running blog! ... although maybe that's what slowed me down this morning ....

I've got to hustle off to PT. I'll post more about that experience later.
