Stephen wanted to go for a run, so I met him at the Shell and ran through downtown along Johnson, which I chose because it's randomly flat despite the streets on either side being hilly. My achilles was sore at a couple points and whenever we had to go up a small hill, but was okay otherwise. The heat and humidity felt stifling today. I'm used to 45 being comfortable t-shirt weather.

I also decided that part of my achilles problem might be that I need new shoes. I ordered some on Monday, but since they aren't in yet, I brought an old pair of Brooks back from retirement since they are less worn than the pair I've been running in. This pair gave me a weird toe injury over the summer, so I cut its lifespan short. I think it will still be good enough to last me a week until the new ones are in.
