I got up at 6:00am and went out on a Center Street/River Heights loop.  It was dark and pooring rain.  I was soaked about 2 minutes into my run, and it continued to poor on me for another 50 minutes.  By the end of the run I started to feel the weight of my drenched clothing, but overall I didn't feel to bad.  I was planning on a couple more miles, but I was miserable so I cut it short and made it 7 miles.  At the end of the run the rain turned to snow, and about 10 minutes after I got home everything completely stopped.  I got home and undressed, made some hot chocolate, and jumped in an extemely hot shower to unchill.

I ran yesterday at noon, last night at 6:30pm, and this morning.  The purpose of running shorter runs close together was to give me a feel of what Del Sol will be like.  Even though I ran three times in 20 hours, it is still not completely accurate because in the relay I will actually run three times in about 13-14 hours.  I figure it is close enough for training and I plan on doing it a couple more times in the next week.

That is a good idea for the 3 runs. I can't do morning or noon weekday runs like you, but I may do something similar Fri night and Saturday.

"I'm fit" meant "I'm not really in racing shape." I'll be alright for us, but you don't want me to hit a pace that you guys who push through the snow and ice are expecting. Good idea on the multiple runs though, I should try that. See you next week. I'll be in town Monday, so I'll meet you for a run one day.

We can all run together next week- that should be good. Maybe we can have a big enough group to run over cars, as opposed to how they usually try to run over us.

I would love to run over a few cars. Infact, I think I can come up with a good hit list. Better yet, how about we go trample some dogs in Millville, or at least chase them around a few blocks!
