Bring It
So I'll be going to be in bed in about 30 minutes and waking up six hours later.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is the Twin Cities Marathon and I'm participating by running the ten mile race and then watching the marathon.
We are exepcted to a LOW of 64 degrees tomorrow. And some thunder storms to go along with that. Ugh.
But that weather won't affect us ten milers as much as the marathoners. I wish those guys the best, of course. That is the beauty of a marathon. You pour your heart and soul for one race that is so dependent on things you can't control. It's a good life lesson: there's no guarantees. Make the best of what you have in front of you that day.
But I'm just a ten miler tomorrow, so there is no need no wax philosophical about such an easy distance.
Here are my goals:
Low Goal: Sub 60
Medium Goal: Sub 59:00
High Goal: 57:20
I'm going out hard both guns blazing after that high goal. I hope to open with a 5:45 mile.

Good luck with the race dude.
Your weather there reminds me of what it's like here in SW france though not so extreme here. To me it seems very weird. In September it was kind of hot and dry and intense sun, now in October it's like super humid, foggy and sort of body temperature with no breeze or anything. If you exert yourself at all you're immediately covered with sweat! Then in winter it gets super cold in the winter though not like in MN of course...
Well Mike, you brought it! Great job on a tough day. And even better job keeping the cheering enthusiasm going strong until 2pm. I wonder how many back-of-the-pack-runners thought, "Why is Rudy Giuliani cheering for me? I suppose I should vote for him now. Damn that Hillary."
