Have you had the opportunity to run in this nice weather? I ran this morning in long sleeves and my hands were cold. This first week of fall in Montgomery is beautiful with clear skies and a little chill in the air. The leaves have already begun to turn.
I was concerned when the Half Marathon was planned that we might be in for a scorcher, but this race looks to have ideal running conditions: High 77 and Low 53. Last week I ran the course and finished extremely dehydrated as the first 7 miles were humid and the last 6 were just hot!
The race organizers listened to wisdom and modified the course again, this time removing the climb up Adams Avenue at mile 12. The new course takes us over the interstate on Perry, turns us on High Street, and then turns us up Bainbridge to the capitol. Bainbridge is a slight incline until it reaches Hull St., but definitely not what we were facing on Adams.
Time to get in those last training runs prior to the race this Saturday. See you there.
