Farmers Market, I thought, that's a great idea! Nothing like a little bit of good old fashioned procrastination to start a morning. So I brought it up to my wife, who said yes without a moment's hesitation.
We spent a good amount of time there, got some veggies, some local honey, and hit the Dollar Tree. By the time I got back and started running, it was almost 2pm. It was actually WARM! My running suffered as a result of it being 70 degrees, combined with going out too fast, once again.

Tomorrow's a scheduled 15-miler. I have a choice, I can either run it in the morning before church, or in the afternoon in lieu of a child's birthday party. If I run in the morning, I have to get out the door around 4:30am, since I need to be at church by 9! That would give me the buffer I need in case I slow down. If I run in the afternoon, it's a lot warmer (today it was 70) and I'll be dropping the family off at the party, running, then picking them up after. Not the best logistical thing in the world.
So we'll see how my body gets up. I much prefer the cool weather in the morning, but my body doesn't like to get up that early these days. Let us also not forget that it's 11:15pm at present! So we'll see how it goes.
