Whoo-hoo!

Last night I had a GREAT run! or maybe it is just that I love running in the rain. We met at Crossroads and what was supposed to be a 6-7 mile route got pushed back to a 5.5 mile route. Apparantly Coach Joe drove around for 3 hours trying to find a route that wasn't iced out for us and ended up with only 5.5 miles. It was pretty hilly compared to what we have been doing, but that's good, seeing that the Pig is going to be pretty hilly. The only bad thing was that the rain made what was left of the big mounds of ice on the sidewalks even more slippery. It took a LOT of concentration to run. I am so glad that we run parts of the Pig course in our practices. Even if it does mean tackling that horrible endless hill on Erie over and over again. I was wondering last night what the other marathon training groups in the city do...like does the Fleet Feet group run any of the course? I know they are based in Kenwood, so they would either have to meet somewhere else or run in Kenwood where the marathon doesn't go. Oh well. I am gearing up mentally for Saturday which is our first double-digit mileage.
