It was 68 degrees and muggy this morning. I ran up to our running group and ran a couple with them before taking off with Barry and a new runner Troy. Troy just moved here and has completed several marathons and seems to be comfortable right at our running level. Total 6.80 miles.

It was overcast and about 50 degrees at the start.  Temperatures stayed pretty comfortable the whole way.  I ran this race easy as I am running #100 in Pocatello next week.  I still finished top 3 in my age group so I was pleasantly surprised.  Hopefully I will recover enough for a good effort in Pocatello, otherwise next Saturday will just be a big celebration and I will enjoy it just the same.
