This morning I ran with Mark & Jenny. What a great send off for their trip to the dryer climate of Utah for a mid summer's day marathon. It was hot and sticky and a great reminder of why there are no marathons (or halfs...) in Florida during the summer months. To make matters worse there wasn't even a breath of breeze. So they ran, I squished and squashed (I was wearing my fat Thorlo's) and we sweated out an easy 6 miler.

Unfortunately I had to pass on the dip in the pool and the four course vegan breakfast I'm sure Jenny had planned as some of us actually have to go to work while it's still morning. All in all, it was great company, a few more stories told and maybe a new one to tell.

Best of luck to you, Mark & Jenny. You both have trained well. Go run the numbers and enjoy the ride!
