The weather was dull & gray in St. Louis, MO, but my ride in was uneventful. I can tell my fitness is slowly improving.

My ride in to work finishes with a short section through Forest Park. Every once in awhile I decide to do a lap around the park before either heading in to work or going home. This gives me about 6 extra miles.

This morning I added a lap before going to the office. It had rained over night and I ended up submerging one foot in a deeper than anticipated puddle.

Lesson: Bring an extra pair of socks!
