11:30 p.m.  Long day at work.  I watched the wind from a window, and felt the cold.  How often do you get a chance to run in 48 degrees on June 5th?  I brushed my teeth and headed out.  To my surprise, Nena joined me on her bike.  We rode under the full moon and chatted.  She thought most of my stories were fictional.  

I'm trying the marathon taper where you run no more miles than the number of days till the race.  So far it's working out great.  I'm over-hydrating all week for a system flush, and tomorrow is the big eating day.  I've been telling myself for weeks that I'll get lots of sleep this week, but a work crunch and 6 a.m. sunrises are interfering with that.  I had a great nap on Sunday, but gave away those make up hours within one night.  I've got to get more than 6 hours of sleep for the next couple nights...
