Total Distance

4.00

4 miles this morning with a nice West breeze which made my hands cold. Loved it. Fast last mile of 6:50 really surprised me.

Looked again at the portion of the 100 miler I'll be pacing and it's daunting. I start at 8800 feet, climb to 8951, drop to 4590 over 14 miles, climb to 6800 the next 3.5 miles, then minor ups and downs until climbing back to 7500 where I finish. And a bunch of this should be in the dark. Fun stuff!

I'm not sure you posted this entry on the right day. It's June 5th...not January 5th. No cold hands are allowed in June!

It was cold-tastic. The kind of feeling we all wish we could have the last 10 miles of the marathon. 49 degrees with a 9 mph wind gave a windchill of 45. Aw, sweet bliss. Blissful singlet weather.

Oh come on!!!! Don't tell me all these details, I'm sweating profusely down here!

A cold front came in last night and it's only 47 degrees at 12 Noon (41 with wind chill). I don't think Lebron would be cramping up in this weather. What's up San Antonio? We'll be back to 82 degrees by mid week.

And now, back to your normal profuse sweating.

Wimps like Lebron can't take the heat!

Oh wait...I must be a wimp too. :-(
