Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

Was hoping for more on both runs, but the expected holiday week slowdown didn't materialize.

What did materialize was a dew point drop from 72 to 35 over the span of ~24 hours. Running felt incredible today despite the the long run yesterday. Every person I saw out there was running fast.

Surreal, exciting, annoying.
