Fairly cool this morning, 45 degrees, but I knew it would warm up. Cut out the toes of some old gym socks and made arm warmers. Worked great. Need to redo it to cover my hands a bit more - they were pretty cold until mile 5. Ran up the hill, up my favorite hill, then kept going for a bit to get some mileage, chasing herds of cows as I went. I chased 3 different herds today. Well, I ran, and they felt chased so they all ran away from me. It was hilarious. Turned and ran on a new road that I've driven before as I went to pick up Kaylene's car that we'd left at a mechanic friend's house. I shorted myself a bit on my 12 mile planned run as the friend said he wanted to leave at 8 am and I took his word for it. Turns out I woke him up and could've done the full 12. No worries. I'm feeling good, ready for this marathon. Now need to figure out how to pull off my 20 miler Saturday with a Fathers/Sons/Boy Scout campout in the morning and a football game in the afternoon. Guess I'll do an evening run. Yuck. Morning runs go so much faster.
