52F, 7:52 AP.  Had the day off, so I got to sleep in a little and run in the afternoon.  Saved me from the sub-30 morning we had...super-extreme cold huh?  Especially next to those snowstorms/blizzards everyone else has...

Pretty easy week lined up obviousy - 7 w/strides tomorrow, 8 w/3MP on Wednesday, 5 easy on Thurs, no run Friday, shakeout Saturday, race Sunday.

So fat it's looking like no-excuse weather: 43 to start, 55 to finish, 7-8 mph wind.  Going to have to buckle down and really brainstorm some other excuses if the forecast holds true.

Taper week is the best/worst! Lots of time to take it easy .... and lots of time to question everything. Don't let taper week get the best of you, you've put in the hard miles and you're going to do great.

The weather sound s great and you will run well, but if you are looking for excuses, blame it on Camille Herron, who will be running dressed as Spider Woman.

Ken - thanks for the vote of confidence

Jason - I saw that...I am undoubtedly going to get crushed in a race by a lady in a full-body costume. that'll be a nice boost to my self-confidence when spiderwoman drops me in mile 1.
