Pretty nice morning (51 and light rain). I went to Southeastway Park and ran my standard loop. It was nice to be able to run in shorts and short sleeves this time of year. However, looks like we are in for a big change tomorrow just in time for my long run. I felt ok today but legs still somewhat tired.

If you are interested, I saw this article about a kid that won the TN state XC race just a few days after his best friend died in a car . Touching story.

What an inspirational story. That's quite an achievement for such a tragic event.

I hope the weather is nice for your run tomorrow. Your training is looking great and your right on track.

Too many teens seem to die in these car crashes. I wish there was someway to get the message across of how dangerous it is especially when drinking. Such an unnecessary loss.
