Felt a stitch in the side when I started but just ignored it.

I really miss riding my bike to work and it shows in my slow speed. However, I am pleased given I thought it would be a slower time.

Forgot to untie shoes from first run so spent more time putting shoes back on for run.

You did well man!

I don't ever tie my running shoes up tight, I make it to were I can slip into them. I really don't need side to side support, so there is no sense it making them tight.

Again, good job!
