SC may not be Minnesota, but it does get cold enough to keep your winter gear close at hand.

20 mile lead here. These Sundays off will be your downfall!

These were the first comments on my blog in a month.

Yes, have to keep out the cold weather gear. Although I have gone all winter a few times without ever having to wear running pants. Sometimes shorts are adequate all winter.

I'm just ahead of you and Steve Anderson. Although Steve will probably do a R2R2R on December 31st and crush me.
