Yesterday they changed the threat level in Madison County and have added a mask mandate and will be limiting events.  Not sure yet what that means for the Marathon in 11 days...

10.07 miles in SoJo.  Temps mid 50's.  I was just cruising along at my normal pace when  a faster runner crossed my path right before mile 6.  I tried to match their pace and was able to.  They were just finishing up so this only lasted for 1/2 mile.  I decided to dig in and see how long I could hold the pace and I actually got progressively faster.  Every time I dug for more...it was there!  My fastest miles of the entire run were miles 9 and 10.

It's nice to know I still can do that once in a while...
