Does mother nature hate marathons?

Boston was 90 degrees. Big Sur was reportedly one of the worst condition days in 25 years. New York, well, no need to say more. I signed up for the California International Marathon intending to run downhill in perfect weather conditions and finally get the 3:00:00 monkey off of my back, but they are predicting 30 mph wind gusts -- from which direction nobody seems to agree -- and torrential rains.

Maybe video gamers are on to something after all?

  1. Let our bloggy hot air speed you on your way, my good man! (Thanks for the tips on running in DC this week, am back in Oxford now and while England is flooded my rowing crew were doing hardcore 5 milers with intervals and core work in the middle this morning.... Hoo-HA Currahee). I will have them all raise a glass to you tonight to send you strong legs tomorrow!!
