So close

Got in 49.75 miles last week. Even the thought of hitting 50 wasn't enough for me to simply add on another .25 to my planned route. There's just something about running past the house that I find very difficult to do. Could be that it means going down a hill and then back up, but I've only done it once that I can remember in the past year. Took off Sunday, even though my work schedule will limit my running during a couple days this week. Coming into my racing week and the weather is not completely cooperating. Expected to be cold on Saturday, so my 7 yr old will not be running, but I'll still be there, dressed like it's summer. When I'm racing, I rarely wear more than the singlet and shorts. If it's a longer distance or much colder, I'll add gloves, etc, but for a 5k with low 30s temps, the gloves would be helpful at the start, but then just extra baggage after the 1st mile.
Mileage will be down this week heading into the races, but next week should be back up, as I am off from work, so I won't have to squeeze runs into the early mornings.
