Comments: Early morning run to beat the heat. Skipped a walk Monday evening because the heat still felt oppressive at 7:00 p.m. My left leg felt sore during the second half of the run. I suspect the sloping asphalt (for drainage) may have had something to do with it. I may have ran too fast. This evening, I purchased the Petzl TakTicca Plus E49-P headlamp. Tried it out briefly this evening outside and it seems like it will do the trick. Scared our neighbor's cat, heh. Every time I think about it, I think it is one of the greatest inventions. This evening at REI, I helped someone else make the same decision on which one to buy. The REI headlamp display shows about a dozen Petzl models; REI also carries models from Black Mountain and some generics. Too overwhelming. Looked to see whether REI has Vibram KSO shoes in stock, but no luck. Only the Flow.
