530 with DG. rain rain and more rain. Started out in a drizzle and the drops just got bigger and bigger until one of them whacked me across the face and nearly knocked me out. I think it was intentional. The puddles don't even bear mentioning. I sped up, or tried to, but cold and wet apparently doesn't make my mitochondria feel all warm and fuzzy.

Did you fight back?

What does your blog name mean?

From Aaron on Wed, Dec 19, 2007 at 18:07:41

Sure I fought back, but the enemy really knows how to roll with a punch.

The name means, "Hail Herodicus of Selymbria!" who was a famous Greek physician (supposedly the teacher of Hippocrates). He advocated strenuous physical exercise - and frequent baths - as the path to health.

Sounds like most of us are having the weather blues. You got it done with nice mileage anyway.

You're a wetter man than I. After seeing the downpour this morning my shoes stayed on the ground and I wrote email instead of running. Can't do that again tomorrow, hopefully it'll let up.
