Springfield, VA.  It was nice this morning (42) with some light wind.  I just ran an easy 6 miles. My legs were a little tired from yesterday's MP run but otherwise felt pretty good.  Heading back home tonight and taking the day off tomorrow so really looking forward to having some time with the family.  I was able to get the advance weather forecast for the Huntsville marathon.  Right now doesn't look the best.  Showers with a low of 36 and high of 50.  Hopefully, it will get better as it gets closer to the race.  Also, going to be pretty cold the next couple of days at home but I guess what else can you expect this time of year.

Darn rain. Hopefully it won't be windy, too.

I hope the weather conditions turn out well for you in Huntsville. I guess running in the cold weather at home can prepare you somewhat for the rain in Huntsville if it occurs. Nice run, and I bet your ready to be with family.

I won't mind the rain too much as long as it is not really cold or windy. It is still a long way out for weather forecasters so hopefully it will improve. I am trying to keep a low key attitude toward this marathon and not freak out on every little issue so hopefully that will help. Definitely glad to be going home. Hopefully only one more trip this year and that will be for the marathon.
