Today Would Have Been a Great Race Day

Chances are that next Saturday won't be anywhere near as ideal as it was this morning for my 8-miler. Another hailstorm blew through last night from the north, and today was much cooler with a strong north wind. I started by running to 7-Eleven to drop off a movie and then heading out on the normal path. Due to the coolness (I'm guessing) not as many people were out until I drew close to the pond and dog park, where a guy was photographing a group of high school girls. They were attired in shorts and cowboy boots - gotta love Texas.

I started off a little slow but picked up the pace by run's end, and probably could have finished a half in less than two hours if today had been the race. The wind kept me cool even though I could feel a little bit of the humidity. We'll see how next Saturday goes.
