Marathon Training: Day 2

My good friend Clifford and I stepped off for a sprightly six miles at 6 AM.  Somebody forgot to turn off the humidity this morning.  In attempting to catch up to the large herd that left from Running Wild, I did manage to put too much speed on early.  For which I paid later in the run.  I am headed to the Jesuit retreat house, Manresa, this weekend for several days of quiet contemplation.  It will be a good time to recharge the batteries and make a couple of solo runs, including my first "long" weekend run.  I'll miss my running crew.
