"I'm Ready!"

Many of my city running routes take me by Starry Nites Cafe located at the corner of University Avenue and Atlantic Avenue in the Arts District.
Run: 4.8 miles in :33:02 min. @ 7:30 a.m.
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 60°F, 82% Humidity, Wind: SSW @ 7 mph; feels like 60°F.
Pace: 6:54 min/mile
Course: A short loop through the Arts District, into downtown and back down the Park Avenue Area.

I've finally arrived at my final training run before starting the 50k at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Psychologically it's hard not to "see" these past few days as somehow detrimental to my fitness, but the reality is, I am storing up energy and "breathe" for the all out exertion that will be necessary if I am to complete a 31 mile trail run.

Following this mornings run, during which the weather was PERFECT and I felt GREAT, I declared to my wife (as she was getting prepared for a day of work), "I'm ready to rock!"

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
