64F, 91%.  7:33 AP.  I ran the last mile at MP and it felt like death.  When you're used to good weather, 60's & humid feels terrible and suffocating.

Ok, let's check the forecast for my race . . . 60s & humid.

Forgot to post but I did 5 slow this morning. Haven't really had time to even think about the race, but it still looks like low 60s for most of it, and close to 100% humidity.  I'm on the fence about whether to switch to the half.  Seems stupid to destroy my legs for yet another 3 hour finish when I have Houston 6 weeks later.  Will keep an eye on the forecast and decide later...

48F, foggy.  8 @ 7:28 AP.  2 mile block @ 6:36, 6:33.  Felt ok.  I felt better during my thanksgiving workout, but with only 7 or 8 miles planned over the next 3 days, I'm sure I can recapture that tapered feeling.  Still leaning toward doing this as a training run but I want to be rested in case I wake up and it's 50 degrees outside on Sunday morning.
