The fog was as thick as pea soup, if not as green. And then as we began the run, the skies opened up and it started to rain. I think nature is conspiring with the coaches to get us to train in all possible weather conditions, so we're ready for anything on race day. We did 4 miles today, the longest yet, and I'm still feeling pretty good about it. I averaged about a 9 minute mile, which if I can keep it up for 13 miles means about 2 hours for the half-marathon. I have no idea if that's good or not, but the idea is just to finish, right? I think if I start getting competitive about this, I could have one good race and one divorce under my belt by April.
