Getting Closer
Only two weeks to the Rocket City Marathon. It is hard to believe it is almost here.
This has been a good week off from work. I have slept later each day, in fact it was almost 7 when I got up Friday morning. So I was not ready to get up when the alarm went off this morning.
The temperature was 29 degrees, so I wore tights. I wanted to get in at least one long run wearing them in case I needed them in Huntsville.
Here are the stats….

That’s a nice week of training.
And I’m hoping tights are not required at Rocket City, time to start checking the forcast.
