    I'll also take cold and rainy over hot and humid any day of the week. Nice job getting out there, and I hope the groin continues to feel better every day.

    Nice run Scott! The cold really came early this year, right? Glad you braced the morning chill and went for it. More stretching and warm up should get you through your long run this weekend.
