If it makes you feel any better, I'm supposed to be running tonight.

It does make me feel somewhat better. But it's late spring in most of the US and everyone is dealing with 80 and 90 degree temps. Not us, still worrying about snow!
ReplyDeleteI guess you get to be on the trainer and dreadmill too?

I'd be tempted to retreat to the treadmill if it weren't for my commitment to running with my squad. We have run in some pretty horrid conditions before. Right now the temperature is dropping and the rain is increasing but the wind hasn't yet gotten too bad. It's still got another six hours to brew though! Oh well, the hot shower afterwards will be bliss and I have slow cooker Jambalaya waiting for me for dinner (and perhaps a glass of red wine).
ReplyDeleteHave fun, take pictures and post on your blog! I want to see this. I'm too lazy to go out in conditions that you're facing!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I failed at pictures because it was already dark by the time we left and my cellphone is hopeless without light. I'm sorry to tell you though that against all odds we had stunning weather tonight. It was crisp but not cold and there was NO wind. How we ever got away with it I have no idea! It started raining just a little towards the end of our 8k run, and it was beautiful. Now I'm home in the warm, showered and fed and sipping on Pinot Noir. Happy Pip!
