If the goal is strictly a number, then a treadmill or indoor marathon would perhaps provide a more controlled environment. All that said, I see no shame in a DNS in such shitty conditions and would have no problem eating a big entry fee myself especially if I were already battling injury. It's only money.<br /><br />As for wind...the athlete population with probably the greatest level of wind hatred would be rowers. Believe me when I say I completely understand what you're saying and have true compassion for what you're feeling. <br /><br />You are a true competitor. I know you will bring the best game you've got come Sunday and I can't wait to see you in action :)XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-8836240432287848102012-11-30T09:01:17.209-08:002012-11-30T09:01:17.209-08:00so awesome that you'll be out there cheering e...so awesome that you'll be out there cheering everyone on. love, love, LOVE the trash bag.

I, for one, am only worried about the 28 mph winds with 50 mph gusts that are predicted, because having run in that exact conditions in Washington DC while Sandy was brewing, I know that it is miserable...the rain with that kind of wind hurts like pellets... I can do it for one hour, but not two, or three, or four...<br /><br />Plus I didn't pay $150 for a marathon to have fun in a predicted flood zone, or to battle freak weather obstacles that happen in Sacramento once every three+ years. I'd sign up for a tough mudder if that was the goal.

Something I have learned over the years is that, barring very very extreme circumstances (ie, more extreme than running a rainy, windy marathon) *I'm* the one in control of how miserable I am. So I can choose to be miserable, or I can choose to get excited about seeing how fast I can run a marathon in miserable conditions and the fact that I might come out of it with a cool story to tell.<br /><br />I hope I see you!! I am terrible at spotting people, so I appreciate the loudness of your outfit. I would tell you what I'll be wearing but at this point I don't even know. :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781340220581385624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-26713773411498276352012-11-29T22:46:19.140-08:002012-11-29T22:46:19.140-08:00#7146, 9:30-10 pace, weirdly excited to tackle thi...#7146, 9:30-10 pace, weirdly excited to tackle this in less than idea conditions and SO hoping to see you!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504009988636892074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-82037498470670365132012-11-29T22:08:27.881-08:002012-11-29T22:08:27.881-08:00I love that trash bag.

Now, someone who is watching runners while it's raining - that's miserable. Or at least it is when watching bike races, but I assume it's the same. You are soaked and basically just standing there either way.
