Another Morning Run

My schedule allowed me to run again in the morning hours today. It was good because the sky was overcast and the temperature hadn't spiked up yet. As I'm writing this in the afternoon the sun is out and the temperature is about 10 degrees higher. The humidity was fairly high but not horrible. I ran my 6 miles and about mile 3.5 felt a little like my heart rate was up and not everything was working in sync. I kept it slow and walked for a minute at mile 5, and then once again up the big hill. I also had coffee this morning, so maybe the caffeine had an effect. One other thing I noticed is that since I've been back from vacation and not wearing the "recovery" flip-flops my knee has stopped aching and hurting at odd times. I'll just stick with my usual method of natural recovery.
