With children 3 yrs and 5 mos, and a 14 yr old dog, getting a full night's sleep is like a unicorn. You've heard of it but haven't really ever seen one. That's why last night was so good, everyone slept all night and I awoke this morning ready to hit the roads. I was expecting cooler temperatures at 6 am. I suppose they were somewhat cooler than my run yesterday, but dog gonnit there was some humidity. The kind you feel like you're swimming through the air. But overall it was nice, the sun wasn't out and I didn't have to take any breaks.
I'm looking foward to running the half at the Spinx Runfest this year. I'll start the training cycle soon. Running a half doesn't get me as pumped up as running a full, but I just have too many things going on right now to train for a full marathon. I love the respect that the full marathoners command at the races. Even at check-in, the people working the desk seem to realize that these are a different breed of people. It's the one chance in any sport that I know of that mere mortals get to feel like an elite athlete.

welcome to the GTC band of bloggers!
Good luck with your blog. I'm an Easley runner as well, but generally stick to running in the Westchester subdivision and surrounding area. I ran my first marathon in May (Vermont City) and have the Shamrock in Virginia Beach next March as my next scheduled.
I look forward to reading your blog and following your running progress.
Jeff
