Just the guys today: Mike, Thon and I met up at what’s become our usual 5:45 meeting spot, Barton Springs. Its amazing how crowded it it out there so far before dawn. This time we just did a bit under six miles, running to MoPac, then clockwise around the Congress Ave loop. Added a few (alright, four) chin-ups at mile zero which isn’t a lot, but hey, its four more than I could do six weeks ago. Talked about the upcoming Zilker relays (which have a much harder course than I was guessing, apparently) and the fact that somebody had apparently choked the chicken in front of AHS. Er, I mean, the rooster failed to crow to salute our passing. The cooler weather was a real blessing (70 degrees, 70% humidity) and we all had a bit of a spring in our step today.

Tomorrow’s forecast for the race is 94 degrees but only 26% humidity, with 46% cloud cover. Not great conditions, but a damn sight better than we’ve been having lately, so I’m not complaining one bit.
