Last Long Run

Feels like this training has been up and down, but maybe that's just all the hills. This morning was awesome for running. The temp was about 60 degrees, and the sun was shining but had that early autumn feel. Plus the intermittent clouds broke it up nicely. I started down Shoal Creek and ended up exploring a little bit. For instance, I didn't realize there was a police academy (not the movie) just 5 miles away from here. On this out-and-back route I went 10 miles and came home to some pancakes and bacon. Not a bad final long run before the race, which is now only nine days away! The long-range forecast now says the low temp will be 64 and will warm up to 88 degrees on the day of the race. I think that's a little warmer than they were advertising a few days ago. Not a good trend.
