Tapering down a little bit. Short singles the next two days. The weather looks ideal on Saturday. Last year's Rock and Roll was in September, 70 degrees at the start and humid and I still managed 1:18:30 with side stitches. I am in far better shape, so I better come in several minutes ahead of that. Any significant half marathon PR I have set has been below 40 degrees. I guess most of the half marathons I have run have been below 40 degrees.

+ Rolling, stretching, and core

Man, the race not only moves from mid-September to Halloween, but from Sunday to Saturday too? The pope really did a number on the Philadelphia fall calendar!

Good luck this weekend... the cards are lined up nicely for you.

Yep. Changed the course too!. It's ~98% the same.

I think the city is probably still recovering. His visit was quite an ordeal from my understanding. I went nowhere near it.
