There's a battle going on.

Spring vs. Winter, warm vs. cold. Sometimes, run vs. sleep in.

Tomorrow (Saturday February 24) will be my last opportunity to have a daytime lakefront run. I've been looking forward to it all week, especially after the particularly good weather last week on my 20-miler. Now ... grr ... we're going into the weekend with a "winter storm watch" starting tomorrow, with rain, freezing rain and snow in the "wintry mix" as possibilities. But they say the temperature will be in the low 30s. Not terrible. I just wanted to run along the lakefront in some sunshine before I head out to LA!

Now, assuming I can get home from work at a decent hour, it looks like a prudent course of action for me will be to get my run in early, missing potential sun, but also missing potential nasty weather.

It won't be a long run. I'm supposed to be in my taper period anyway. Nevertheless, I feel like doing my 10-mile out & back, with a secret desire to extend that to 13.1 somehow. Then I'll start my taper, seriously!

My running life must be good if these are the problems I'm dealing with. I feel blessed and lucky.
