Brandy, I'd say that was a flat worth having!

Got up early to get out before the Team in Training crowd started hogging the trail. The minute I opened the door it started raining. As I was setting up to do the Spinervals killer workout (Hillacious followed by Iron Girl), Divine Intervention: the rain slowed to a sputter, so I pulled out one of my beater bikes and got the spokes spinning by 5:30am. Wet pavement, humid and warm, some intermittent drizzle, but the trail was pretty much deserted. Didn't see the coyote but the rabbits were out.
Unfortunately, I noticed the Team in Training Trail Hogs assembling in their pre-run/walk circle. Since I'm battling a virus that's giving me a stuffed head/ears, I didn't want to deal with getting safely past their multiple squadrons of two abreast, especially since it's early days in their training and the most inconsiderate of them havent yet tossed in the towel [note: I don't mean to be so down on Team in Training, as I'm sure they are a great organization. However, my "share the trail" experience with these Team in Training folks--last year--was not positive because some, not all, of them seem hostile toward cyclists and more than once, they put my safety at risk by crowding the trail and/or acting in an unsafe manner]. So, I decided to bag it at 30 miles and head home.
