Apparently I am the only freak who thinks 60 is perfect racing temperature.
Well, it goes without saying that Damaris would give her left nut to run in 60 degrees, so that makes two of you.
12 on a Thursday? You in MRT again?

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Are we there, yet?
No, I like that temperature also, but then I once ran a June marathon that started at noon, so my opinion may not mean much.

12 miles with hardly any good breathing, Pilates onnthe wunda chair (and I asked for it). Tired but feeling better.

because i never shut up ... i blog
I'm right there with you... I ran an August marathon. It was pretty toasty. Still prefer that to freezing my ass off.
Two of my marathons were run in 70 degrees. They were awful.
I will second you for one of them. And 15 minutes after the race, I was cold. Go figure.

Lol, anything between 30 and 50 degrees is perfect.
60 feels nice but I prefer colder.

I would take 60 for a marathon anytime. Did an easy 5 this evening. Am getting my last doses of vin scully. Going to be weird not hearing him do baseball any more.
