I usually only do group runs Thursday and sometimes Sunday, but holy cow! The Saturday group is huge! Good to know, as I'll probably be joining them more often for my mid-length Saturday runs this fall that will precede my long Sunday runs. I can run and socialize for an hour or so, but after that my brain turns to jelly and I just want to zone out -- as I discovered last week, lol.

There's nothing like listening to sound of sweat dripping off of my sun visor. Only me and the raccoons out early this morning.

First "long" run of the season. Happy to do 5 after taking a 8.5 month break. Hot and humid, but I survived and feel pretty good. On to next week.
