Woke up just a little earlier than usual this morning. It was nice to just sit on the front steps and look at the stars before heading out. I felt very discouraged this morning as I found out last night that registration was closed for the Hobble Creek Half. I'd held on registering until it was close to my birthday (as an early present) just because I'd been spending so much on running and we had some other large expenses to consider. It has been one of my favorite races and I was really looking forward to it as I was moving into a new age group (and even had a chance to place for a change). I'll just have to find another challenge. Anyway, today's run went well. Eight miles a day is getting easier.
