Warm evening, not as hot as I thought it would be (my car thermometer after work said 96, but that's because it's a black interior with the windows up in a parking lot). It was probably more like 80. 

Brisk run on the two bridge, Warren then Manette, then home on Shore Drive. Evergreen Park was full of people enjoying the evening. A bunch of junior high girls called me nasty and told me to put my shirt on. I had no idea a skinny guy with chest hair is so unappealing. 

Felt good otherwise, nice pace and a good stretch following to loosen up. 40:05

Car thermometer, eh? What hot little number you driving around these days??

I officially became a Pacific Northwesterner last year -- I drive a Subaru, like every third person here. That Jetta broke down in the middle of the North Cascades, and that was the end of that. I like the new ride though.
