AM - a little over 7 miles this morning. Weather front finally pushed the rain and southwest humid wind away. Not any cooler, but a fresher northeast breeze this morning made for a pleasant change. Slightly stiff to start, but comfortable easy pace followed.

PM - lunchtime 6.5 miles. Very nice sunny day - but much hotter than I had expected. Kind of clobbered me in the last mile or so without warning. Bleah.

What are your race plans, Bret? I think I remember you saying that you were running London next spring - is that right?

I imagine the racing season in Florida isn't really going strong this time of year... more good races during the winter months?

Jake,

I am running the NYC marathon on November 6 and am indeed also running London in the spring.

As a lead into NY I am looking at a couple of local 10ks and a 5k with a half marathon on October 6 - the Marine Corp 1/2 marathon in Jacksonville.

The really enjoyable races in Florida actually happen in the winter months because it is cooler and less humid. This time of year the weather is brutal.

How are you going to manage to run NYC with no bag check?!?! :-)
