Friday is here.  Back in town.  Back running familiar routes.  Went for a 5 mile run to mail a letter.  Mailbox is 2.3 miles from the house; took a different route back to make up the difference.  Feet and knee joints are well, shoes are still making a difference. Looking forward to another great weekend - hopefully back at the Tailrace for Striped Bass.

Managed to get a 5k in before the rains hit.  Maintained a steady pace with no issues with the knees and feet.  Shoes make a difference!  Still planning on hitting the Tailrace for some Striped Bass.  May need to adjust tactics given the rain.  Cross my fingers weather clears tomorrow.
