Summary #4 for 2025-04-21

Good morning, Alex! Happy Easter Monday! Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend.

Looks like you’ve got a Run: MP Run on the schedule today. The good news is it’s light until around 8 PM. The not-so-good news is the forecast shows increasing chances of rain and stronger winds later this afternoon and into the evening, particularly between 5 PM and 7 PM. The best window for your run to dodge the wet stuff and wind seems to be earlier in the day, maybe mid-morning or early afternoon before the weather turns.
