50F, no wind.  It all died out right after the race (of course) and hasn't come back yet.  I ran to a wind farm again and most of the windmills were still - you don't see that here much!

Anyway, I took it easy but gradually picked it up to GMP the last 6 or 7 miles.  Felt pretty comfy the whole run.  7:46 AP.

*Here's a link with a short video about the race yesterday.  They caught my finish at about 45 seconds into the video, if you can get it to work.  Then the poor honor guard trying to hold the flags steady in the wind...

Too bad today's weather couldn't have been yesterday's! Think of the PR you'd have set! Nice pace on the run!

Looks like the same shirt on your blog. Hope you have washed it a time or two...

Well, I run in free t-shirts mostly because I own only 1 actual "running shirt." So it shows up at every race.
