It took some time to get into the groove tonight on the Bowie High School track. It wasn't until the second mile that I felt comfortable. Hip stiffness, a left knee twitch, and the right arch blister were all being felt. Between the second and third mile the knee settled down as well as the right hip. The blister felt worse with each additional lap although it was easy to run through. It seems I could do that for six miles, I don't think I could for 20 or 26.2.

70 degrees, no wind, low humidity.
