Next to the last long run before tapering down for Surf City. I went to a local Rail to Trails thinking it would be a better surface to run on to take some of the beating off my foot. It was 65 degrees when I started and cloudy and 90% chance of rain. I did get finished before it started raining but was soaked with sweat anyway and it looked like I had just walked out of water. When I got back it the truck it said it was 71 degrees, which is way to Hot for me but was a good chance to get a long run in with the temps being more close to what it will be like at the marathon. I sure hope the temps are a little cooler for the marathon though. My average time wasn't to bad but the tank was empty after 20.
