At 51 degrees I assume that the wet is in rain form?

From SlowJoe on Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 07:49:10 from 155.219.241.10

Yep - it was either drizzle or the fog, but I was soaked...nice warm day though!

I hope you don't have to run your race in the fog. I ran a half marathon last year in the fog and it was miserable. Not being able to see but a few feet ahead of me really got in my head.

Not sure it will be foggy, but definitely wet. I think the front is hitting Houston just hours before the race so wind and rain will probably be the theme. Hope you guys stay dry!

Good luck in Houston, Joe. I think it will be raining in Austin as well, but there should be a nice wind from the north pushing runners on a mostly north to south point to point course. I heard IJR is rigging up a sail. :-)

rain, no prob. wind, I hope not!! no wind no wind no wind!!

From SlowJoe on Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 11:51:44 from 155.219.241.10

The good news is that 20 mph wind in the city, where there's stuff to block it, is like 10 mph out here on the plains. So maybe it won't be that bad since it's in town.
