Yesterday I ended up running 9-1/2 miles. A good long run. The best part was how perfect the weather was for running. When we started, it was 50º. (In June!) By the time we made it to our water stop 50 minutes later, it had cooled off to 48º! When we finished, it was around 50º again.
Let me repeat myself, this was perfect running weather! I ended up wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts - the right amount of clothing (not too many layers and not dying of sweat/heat exhaustion). It was nice and cool - almost cold - when I started and I warmed up fast. The further along I went, the better the chill in the air felt. By the time I finished, I was still sweating, but cooled down very quickly. I actually got a little cold after and had the heat on as I drove home!
Some additional news...
I may have found a few others to train with me here in Etown. There has been some expressed interest in the Columbus Marathon and even the Half-Marathon by some of the people I run with. This would be great to have a few additional fools to train with! Plus, my long runs are going to start increasing soon and it would be nice to have company as that mileage starts to build - right now, my longest training run before the race is scheduled for 22 miles!
