| technically, i suppose only about 23 of those miles were on saturday, as the last few were early sunday morning, but none the less, had a blast pacing and crewing for a friend in his first 100 in which he finished in a blazing 20:45 for 4th place.

| it's funny to see the various "auto-suggest" mileages that pop up when i simply enter a 3
(3, 3.2, 34, 34.5, 36.2, 36.5, 36.8, 37.6)

| The light rain hitting my face was more of a simple observation than an annoyance.
Truth be told, a single iota's worth of planning could have prevented it by simply looking at the forecast and packing a hat to wear. Oh well...
All other aspects of yesterday's run proved quite pleasant; a slow-moving cold front provided light rain for most of the day, which cooled things to an almost ideal temperature for an easy run after work, and, as occasionally noted with early-morning runs, such conditions effectively greyed-out the world around me, which in turn provided a feast for the other reactively-heightened senses.
Wandering thoughts were occasionally punctuated by momentarily noticing a fat drop from a tree amongst the nearly mist-like rain, or taking in the smell of the perfectly cool-not-cold rain.
Soon enough, those same thoughts would meander away from the external, only to be brought back by another minor incident of note, the cycle repeating time and time again.
The current faux-taper for an upcoming race ensured that standard achiness, stiffness, and concern for pace were at least somewhat abated, and therefore allowed an even greater freedom to enjoy the moment.
These are some of the most fleeting and most enjoyable runs we get, if we simply allow them to be.

| "The people that I have met are not foolish; they are aware of how tired and cold and hungry and frightened and hurting and discouraged and disoriented and how possibly injured they will become. They know they will face great physical, mental, emotional, and possibly spiritual challenges as they make their way to the finish. This is what they are racing against. This is their challenge. This is what I admire." - Carolyn Erdman
