Bye June! Thank you for your well-lit mornings. I’m always sad to see the solstice pass, although I could do without the 75º and 70º dewpoints at 6 a.m. Also, if you haven’t noticed, we got a dog! Morgan came to live with us on May 27 and we’re building her into a little runner. She’s also really good at helping during cross-training sessions.

This is my first month ramping back up for the Chicago Marathon.
