4:40 am

When my alarm went off this morning I truly could not remember what I had to get up for. My wishful thinking must have been taking over my mind. Unfortunately, the rain I had hoped for (as always) did not materialize and the radar didn't show any in the vicinity. So, off I went.

It was warm today. I was over dressed. Not as much as Jenny, thankfully, but none the less one of my least favorite things is to be over dressed. It is different then running in hot weather when you can't really do anything about it. But being overdressed - it is just being stupid. Not that Jenny is more stupid than me.... ;-)

The day of the marathon WAS looking good. Mike had to ruin it by asking me what the wind was predicted to be. So, of course I had to go and check. The bad news is the forecast has changed since I looked last night. The good news is that there is plenty of time for it to change again.

Long Sleeve AND Long Pants

Mark the day - October 2 - the first day the majority of the group wore long sleeves AND long pants. Elyse was the brave one in shorts. She was feeling pretty tired today, so she must have wanted to be cold to keep herself awake!

Taper time... Time to enjoy the guilt of not running much!
