Finally this week for the first time we had nice, more April-appropriate weather conditions for a morning run. Mid-30's, no wind, sliver of a moon, pretty nice I thought. And having Kim for company for most of the run was even nicer. Mostly uneventful except for a couple of cat encounters that Kim mentioned on her blog. After a 2 mile warmup I did a couple miles at 1/2 marathon pace. Garmin said 6:24 & 6:17 for splits but I think it glitched on the 2nd mile which was probably closer to 6:25. Felt good, invigorating. Wore the Adidas flats that I'll use on Saturday. Looking forward to a good nap during the lunch hour today.
***PM Update*** - Well I got my nearly hour long nap at lunch so that was good, but even BETTER, I got a confirmation from the St. George Marathon folks that YES they did remember that they burned me last year in my attempt to volunteer as a blind runner guide, and YES they were marking me down for guaranteed entry into this years marathon. Hooray! Now the next step is to get Kim in for her 1st ever marathon experience. I tried to kindly hint to the SGM folks how cool it would be for Kim to get in but they didn't offer me any promises or guarantees. Guess we may have to wait until May to find that one out.
