Thanks guys! And thanks for the newspaper suggestion. My shoes are still wet....
Can't say I "enjoyed" the run in the wind and rain yesterday but it wasn't all that bad. Started pouring the last mile so I picked up the pace -- mile 21 was at 8:32 :) Felt good throughout and feel great today so I think I'm ready for MCM in 3 weeks (10/28), and then OBX marathon 2 weeks after that (11/11). Someone remind me again why I thought that was a good idea?? Oh yeah, couldn't pass up a good deal on MCM.

For wet shoes, stuff with newspaper. after a few hours change out the paper. they should be dry by morning. ---- Jeff Glover <[email protected]> wrote: > After Birdman and Marian exercise better judgment the Ronnie, Kaiser and LR > continue on Bernd of the River.
