Running is not for sissies. We run no matter how much sleep we got the night before, no matter what hurts, no matter who comes along. We run no matter what. Weather is no exception. We run in rain, cold, heat, sun, dark, wind, sleet (even hail, but not lightening.) We train in bad weather so when we face bad weather in a race we can tell ourselves, “I’ve run in worse.”
Luckily, sometimes we get to race in better weather than we train in. That is why we love fall marathons. Train in the heat, run in the cool. The weather in DC is shaping up nicely…
Now if that rain would just slip over onto Sunday….
Good luck at the marathon this weekend piranas!
