Very rough start, but I was feeling better by the end. I suspect I will have a similar rough start next month, but I will be truly warmed-up by the time I get the base of the hill. Main issue was tightness in the muscles of the lower leg. The blister from last Sunday still exists, but it is improving. I will be looking into methods to protect the area over the weekend.
