It was a chilly evening. Memorial Park was a lot quieter than it usually is at this time of the day but I was still surprised at how many people there were given the much cooler temperature. I amused myself by noting the extreme differences in people's attire. I saw a couple guys in shorts and short-sleeved shirts and a few others in shorts and long sleeves. There were some women in shorts too. There were others on the opposite end of the spectrum. For example, full jogging suit with winter coat, scarf and hat. There were a few variations of this "look". I've got to give everyone credit for being out there tonight ... no matter what it took to get there.

My legs felt fine. My cardio felt fine. I felt slow.

Seven miles in the the morning ... I'll see how I feel then ....
