Temperatures today were cool enough, in the high sixties and low seventies, but there were low clouds and rain threatening...  so it was very humid running.  Other than a few raindrops, I did not get wet from outside in.

Rambled along the Metacomet Ridge from Phelps Road in West Suffield to Route 20 in East Granby.  I've been on this ten-mile out and back too many times to count.  It's a good gauge of fitness;  first, can the entire thing be run without stopping for breaks, and secondly, how quickly can it get covered.

I had no trouble making the distance, but a sore left heal (woke up with it yesterday) really slowed me.  Might be a bruise, or the start of plantar fasciitis.  

Heavy clouds sitting in the lowlands.

Snake Skin shed along rock.

An hour into the run, and the fog is getting worse.

Today's 10-Mile Route (out and back).
