Slept in until 6 and then got up and ran the high school loop. I love this time of year, especially being in taper mode already. I'm always a little worried when I start out and it's not completely effortless with the marathon so close, but I really don't have any lingering aches or pains and there was definitely some spring in my step this morning. With the full moon in the west and cool, still, clear air, it was certainly, as Paul would say, idyllic.

Kerry sounds like a great run and looks like you're ready for a great race this weekend. Best of luck to you at TOU.

Thanks for using "idyllic". It will help cement it into my vocabulary. I love idyllic runs. They are so much better than the opposite kind. Some antonyms of "idyllic" are: bad, disagreeable, flawed, hellish, imperfect, infernal. I think we've both had those kinds of runs. They're no fun at all.

The cool thing about a marathon is that you very often experience the idyllic and all of its antonyms in the space of a few hours.
