I was planning on meeting my buddy, Ty at downtown Ft Worth to run along the Trinity River. But, for the first time in months, we called it off on account of rain! I was halfway to the trail when I saw his text, so turned around, bought a box of donuts and went home.

At about 8:45 the rain let up some, so I went out for a solo run from my house. Ran 8 and the cooler temps (low 70s) felt great!
