Got up on this rainy day thinking of all my friends running the marathon. When ever I was wet cold and miserable I would think of them running more than twice as far. I did give up at the 8.5 mile and did the rest on the treadmill. The rain was not as bad as the wind, at one point I was running down a steep decline with a very strong tail wind, it was all I could do to stay upright and not roll down the hill. Coming up the same hill with a head wind was not fun either! splits: 9:10, 9:06, 8:43, 8:50, 9:43, 9:58, 9:02, 9:10, You can really see the downhill tailwind vs the uphill headwind miles!
