A perfect morning for a run. Temperature at the start was 27.1 with 84 percent humidity. No wind and clear skies. Pushed a little harder today and dropped about seven seconds from yesterday's average pace (8:49 to 8:42) despite the fact that my right ankle was a bit sore throughout the run and my lungs were a little congested. With the high humidity I was exhaling clouds of vapor. A nice run all together.
I saw an email last night from the Ragnar Relay saying they were already at 498 teams and were lifting the 500 team cap. That means there will be approximately 6000 runners participating which would make it probably the largest running event in the state. It'll be quite a different experience from the 22 teams that started the first year. I'm really looking forward to it. |
