20 Mile Birthday Run

Met some friends today and ran my last 20 miler before Memphis. It was a beautiful morning once it got light outside after our 5:30 AM start. Temperatures were in the 50's and the sun was shining. I love fall running, the trees were gorgeous and it felt great to be outside enjoying the day. Nevermind that the course was absolutely the HILLIEST route I have run in all my weeks of marathon training, we all need a challenge, right? It was an awesome day, I can't think of a better way to start my birthday--- a 20 mile run with friends, beautiful fall scenery and great weather. And now, at long last, the TAPER....

Happy Birthday!! I was just thinking today, Kirsten's birthday is sometime very soon! For some reason, I didn't get the birthdays transfered to my calendar this year. I am going to do better next year! I have something for you but don't want it to get crushed in the mail. Enjoy your day, it is nice that it is on the weekend and a pretty one too. See you very soon, we are looking forward to it.
