The weather factor

My friend from Memphis wrote: “Please note they are calling for serious winter weather here Friday/Sat and Sunday! Proceed North w/ caution.” So I have to be ready to run the marathon in extreme cold weather. That’s one disadvantage I have training in the Nola warm temperatures. About a week ago, I ran in the low teens in Baltimore around the harbor with strong winds, and it was a very hard 9-mile run. I am glad, however, to have experienced extreme cold temperatures for at least one run before Memphis.

Have to go for a 6 mile run this morning and it is 72º here in New Orleans. Go figure!
