What a nice morning for a long run! These cool temps this week have been great. A little nippy the first mile but then it feels fabulous.  Decided to sleep in a little this morning so we could catch some sun and still get a little touch of heat-training, although it was cool enough the whole time we didn't have to deal much with heat.

Ran mostly with Kim with an occasional marathon-pace burst sprinkled here and there. Ran up Harry's with Steve K and got pretty pooped. But mostly felt really good and for most of the run just felt like I could run forever.  Kim got into a pretty good zone as well and ran most of this run at marathon pace or half marathon pace.  Hopefully the knee will continue to allow her to stay in a good groove through the rest of SGM training and for the race.
