For January, it was positively lovely out, almost 40 degrees at 7am. Just me and Ben and Steve, for a post-marathon (for them, anyway) jaunt.

Last Thursday was the “last chance run” before the Charleston Marathon… well, for the rest of my group anyway, since I wasn’t going to be able to attend. It was nice to do it with them, though, and wish them on their way!

There’s something great and awful at the same time about knowing that at 5:37am, it’s the warmest the day’s going to get. I’m just glad it didn’t dip back below freezing until after we began, so that the sidewalks didn’t ice over.

The plan was for a 10-miler, but it was brutally cold this morning. Even with an 8am start, we decided it was best to cut it short between weather and a lack of well-maintained sidewalks.
