Change

Lots of things changed from Sunday to Monday, certainly the air.  Sunday was oppressive heat and humidity.  Monday, the air was almost crisp.  I decided my run could wait till the afternoon when I'd be heading to Hannaford.  That gave me the morning to work on job stuff and cleaning out stuff.

I have to admit, I'm pretty sad.  Even the time when Sam would be upstairs sleeping, I'm feeling the absence.  I knew the run would be good for me, but didn't want to use it up too early.  I wish I could run longer every day.  Maybe 6 hours a day ; )

Thorncrag was perfect.  Though the temperature was at the high of the day and it did feel pretty hot in the parking lot, the trails were cool and breezy, well-shaded from the sun.  It's hard work there no matter where you run.  The effort was what I needed.  I let my mind run over things, but also thought about the TM event I plan to put on there.  I need a loop that takes in the best of Thorncrag without being too long; I want to keep the format of last year's Till We Meet in Hell run.  I think I'm getting that dialed in.

Six miles is plenty there.  I think eight is the most I've run.  By then you've hit all the climbs a couple of times.  Just wait Till We Meet in Hell and see for yourself.
