I just can't get up in time for them. So I do mine at lunch time and squeeze it in. I won't be able to do that after spring though, Texas heat is not really conducive of high noon runs. I also like that you take pictures on your daily runs, it keeps your runs interesting. As for the upgrade to full marathon, I know what you mean. I almost registered for the Chicago marathon, 10/10/10 and all, but I think I'll stick with White Rock in Dallas in December instead. .-= Greg´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.gregstransformation.com/proud-american/">I’m Proud To Be An American</a> =-.
