back in the saddle?

My first jog since June, I think: almost 2 miles very slowly. 

In my defense, it was about 32 C, and I've been recovering from a heavy workload in July. I still have some early mornings, but not super early, only about 6:30ish am--and for these I wear site scrubs so I don't have to show up totally pressed and presentable.  ~~living the dream~~~ So when I got off early today, and there was a decent breeze and not too much humidity, I went for it.

I'm going to try to run again Saturday morning because the highs of 37-39 are finally starting to dip into the mid 30s, and I want to hit the ground running* when the temps become reasonable.  I have another dream: my rotation in Nov-Dec might be 5:30-6:00 am to afternoon "sometime but not late", and it's definitely 4 miles away on a suitable route for running. And, facility scrubs are available and permissible (I think).  Sooo....we'll see....

and to sum up since 2018: boards, basically.
