Comments: Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., today, on my run. Dense fog means cool spray while running. Felt great. Just a touch of a struggle on the run this evening; I could tell I had an active weekend and Monday--lots of cleaning, moving household items, cooking, and so forth. I feel a bit vulnerable running in the fog; harder to see what is coming. Relatively quiet tonight, very little traffic. Did pass about four or five people, however, out for walks. I gave everyone a wide berth, just to ensure I was not invading their bubble. All holiday decorations have been removed from houses. As I ran east, I gained just enough elevation for the fog to lift. The mid part of my run was mostly clear. At the end of the run, I noted (as I did last Monday) the run only took about 42 minutes. So I ran a bit more to extend it to 45. Feeling pretty good overall.
