Pete sets up a run for 8:30am this morning even though the weather is going to be nasty (rain, cold, wind - the usual crap). I invite Chris, since he and I were going to be running anyway.
Pete doesn't show up - the girlie-man, rat-bastard. Ann is also a no-show, but I don't have a good nickname for her yet.
Chris and I had a good run, but it was pretty nasty during the miles we ran into the wind, but the last few miles the wind was at our back, so we picked up the pace. We did cut it short (only 9 miles) and were drenched when we got back to the car.
I'm sure this run wasn't great for my cold recovery and Pete and Ann probably made the right choice and in the past have been there under some pretty daunting conditions, helping me turn those tough-weather days into really good workout days.
Thanks to Chris for being out there - now if it rains for our race in 2 weeks, we'll be better prepared!
My shoes needed a good cleaning anyway.

Jesse,
Great tempo run at around a 7 min pace. It was fun to get out with you in the wind and rain. It reminded me of Boston Marathon training a few years back. I'm sorry I didn't get to see Ann and Pete. That really would have been reminiscent of the old marathon training days.
Jesse, you are great shape and it is only April! Keep it up and you are going to have a great time in Kona!
Anyway, let's do it again soon!
Chris
