It was 46 degrees with a light drizzle a couple of times.  I ran over to meet our group and we did something new today.  We all ran barefoot on the golf course.  It was a bit cold since the grass was wet but it was fun.  I have run over 23,000 miles in the last 10 years and have NEVER run barefoot!  I guess you are never too old to try something new.  Then Chad and I ran a couple more miles at a smooth pace.  I feel good for Ogden tomorrow.  This is not going to be a PR race for me but it will be a good measuring stick to see how I am progressing after my injuries the past 2 years.  The weather looks like upper 40's to low 50's with a chance of rain.  As long as the wind is light I think it will be fine.
