Last Warm Run?

I wouldn't call today especially warm, but compared to what's coming up, it was warm. This morning the sun was out and the temperature in the 50s. I wore shorts but had to settle for a long-sleeved technical T. A strong wind blew out of the south. I ran the alternate 6-mile route, taking me west to 435 and then up that road, the name of which I can never remember. Eastern? Anyway, by the time I had to run south I was almost 5 miles in and mostly running downhill. My left calf down near the Achilles Tendon was really tight. I used The Stick on it when I got home, but tried to stretch it out as much as possible while on the road. It's now less than two weeks to the race. I had a dream last night that I ran it really fast. Since it's been three years or so since my last marathon I have a feeling that's going to remain a dream.
