Highland Glen loop. As light as it ever get at 5:45 in the morning. An amazing number of people out running, jogging, walking and biking this morning. Legs felt pretty well rested and springy. No aches or pains to speak of. I have to admit to being a bit nervous about the heat that's predicted for this weekend, as almost all of my training is in the early morning. Some cold water every mile or two should help :) 

Broke in another new pair of Asics Cumulus VIII's this morning. (C4 5.24)

Kerry I'm nervous about the heat as well. Looks like it could be really tough for you guys on the 1st leg, especially now that they've lengthened most of those from previous years. But at least for you guys I think the last 2 legs should be pretty good.

In van 2 we'll get the worst of it in leg 3, I'm really not too envious of Terry and Ryan doing YGBKM and Ragnar. Water Water Water!!! I guess about all we can do is drink alot and try to do our best. I'm thinking the heat factor may make it so we don't get too far ahead of schedule after the 1st set of legs like we usually do. But I think we still have a good shot at sub-23 hour. I know a few guys are currently running much better than what their 10K pace prediction would indicate.

That last leg that you'll be running was a tough one for me last year. The elevation gain was about a hundred feet more than the chart showed (according to my Garmin) and in the heat, it just seemed to go on forever! I'm sure you'll do much better than I did. Just make sure they stop often enough to keep you cooled off :)
