On Monday, I did 20-minute yoga in the morning and the evening. I think it’s helping, as overall, I feel less tight and stiff. Here’s hoping this continues. It might even be helping the knees.

On Tuesday, I ran in the morning, in an attempt to avoid the heat, as summer is back in Toronto for a few days. It worked, sort of. It was the sweatiest run I’ve had in a while. It was supposed to be “difficult, but manageable” but when my overall pace came in at 6:15 per kilometre, I was disappointed. I felt as though I was running faster than that.

Was it the humidity? Or am I just getting my hopes up?
