Two mornings ago I took my shirt off mid run due to the heat & humidity. This morning I wore a long sleeve shirt & had to cover my hands until the turnaround as they were freezing. Ah. 44 degrees at the start & at the end. It really was perfect running weather and my times showed it. I've run this same route quite a few times recently and I was able to run much faster on the way back than I have in the past couple months, and I think the cool weather had a lot to do with it. Anyhow, felt very good. Getting nervous for the marathon, even though it's still a month out.

AP: 8:28. Splits 9:31, 9:07, 9:26, 8:42, 8:15, 7:38, 7:36, 7:30.

I hope so. I think I'll actually be able to run the whole thing unlike last time, and I'm hoping to beat Dad's time of 3:38, but I'll be satisfied being under 4 hours and happy under 3:45. Ecstatic if I can beat Dad's time.
