Well, let's just say the weather for this race and my attitude toward it matched pretty well. There was rain for about the first 3-4 miles and swirly whirly cold wind for the rest. People gave up chasing their hats and I altered my goal to stay with two people. A gentleman who was clearly in the same mood I was; I tried to make a joke with him around mile 6 about the weather and his response was less than repeatable. A lady who seemed to be running the same intervals that I was just offset with what our run walk time was. I am happy to say that I passed grumpy Joe around mile 10 and lost my interval partner when she stopped for beer around mile 11. I was just happy that I stuck with it and finished. Thanks again for my dear friend Beth for being the hostess with the most-est and making sure I showed up to run! Her parking skills were perfect. In the lot of the pizza place near the finish, of course we paid for our parking and purchased a pizza for our post run indulgence! I will miss her when she heads west! Note the center picture below of Beth and I in our pre-race conditions.
