It was cold this morning. 36 degrees to be exact, with a hefty windchill.
Now this isn't cold to most of you. But we have had an unseasonably warm winter here in northern California. Most of my runs for the last month have been in the upper 30's to lower 40's. The problem with this kind of winter warm spell is that it turns you into a real wimp when it gets slightly colder.
Don't get me wrong, I kind of like it when the temps are more extreme (just for bragging rights). New Year's Day it was 26 and drizzly (is that a word?). A week ago Sunday, I ran most of my long run in the rain. Again, all these things build character.
My biggest concern: that I'll have two months of beautiful training weather and then on my race day (three and a half weeks away) it'll rain, snow, sleet, blow hurricane-force winds, etc.
129.4 miles down, 93.1 to go!
