AM:  41F, NNE 15 mph.  light rain.  6 @ 9:02 AP.  Lucked out as there was heavy rain right before and after this run but I got a little window of less weather.  Legs a little mushy from the 22-miler.

PM:  32F, NNW 26-36 mph, sideways stinging snow.  Why does all the precipitation here have to sting?  4 @ 8:26 AP.  Better than rain, I guess, although my face and neck was all red from the tiny flying snowflake daggers.

You've been running in a lot of rain lately. Do you have a shoe-drying system that you want to patent? You've got to jump ahead of Derhammer on this one. Also, have you tried to connect to IJR's page today?

Seems as if he's taken it offline for now.

As far as the drying technique, I leave them on the carpet and the water simply transfers over. Sure, it leaves the carpet wet and dirty, but you don't need nice carpet for running.

Good running Joe, way to keep it up in the rain. Hope Preston is fine.

That snow warms my heart!

"you don't need nice carpet for running". Ha! That made me laugh. I'm going to tell my wife that. Not sure she'll see the humor in it.
