AM:  It was 58 degrees with a light breeze this morning.  I ran 10.62 miles with 3 really surprising miles in the middle that were of little effort.  It was probably because of the 2 days off due to travel both days.

It was 71 degrees and muggy at 5:30 this morning.  Barry Smith picked me up and we drove to the top of Buckskin to run some of the marathon course.  It was 67 at the top and a bit cooler down the back side.  Luckily the cloud cover held up so it did not get overly hot.  We hit 101 yesterday so it was a concern.

We ran 19.05 miles with some decent speedplay from mile 14 on.  I ran a couple 6:40's while Barry chased and he ran some 7:00's while I chased.

Asics 2140 Miles: 19.05
