OK...so "weather.com" isn't showing me the love for Marathon Monday: Hi of 49 degrees, Low of 36, 20 m.p.h. winds, and RAIN (70% chance and getting worse every time I check back).
So, to those of you who said they'd be out there cheering me on...bring an umbrella and a LOUD voice...I've done the 'slogging through 26 miles in the cold rain' run once before (Victoria, BC last October was wet and drizzly) and it's about as pleasant as, well, jogging in the cold rain for 4 hours...some metaphors kinda write themselves. (<--this comment holds true for similes as well, for my English major friends and family). Your encouragement would be most welcome, although your decision to stay indoors and shoot me an e-mail would be completely understandable!
Hope to see a few diehards out there on the course; and for those of you cheering from afar, please keep the following thoughts in your head come 10:30 a.m. Monday:
- warm, but not too warm,
- dry, and
- TAIL wind (one of the few ways that my superior surface area would give me a competitive advantage).
Gotta run! Paul
