Don't own a treadmill and I find them very boring. Running outside is typically alright, but you do get the odd horrible day (worst this year was -22F). Most of the time it's 15-20F and sunny. Sometimes warmer, sometimes colder.
I just have my routine and I hate making excuses for weather. I'll take 15-20 over 33 and rainy. Getting soaked and cold sucks. But, I never have to worry about anything with a - It's sort of fun when it's unique. Still impressed you guys do it week after week. What's the forecast looking like this weekend? I bought a nice Marmot running wind/rain jacket that I still haven't used.
You can never trust the weather man(it started snowing 2 hours ago, which was supposed to be in the foothills only). But... Chance of snow on Saturday. Rainy and cool on sunday. But I could see this forecast changing. Between now and there we're suppose to get cool but clear weather(teens at night, 30s at midday), then the moisture comes. Who knows basically.
You'll probably want that coat, especially given the more relaxed pace. Road or trail? I know more interesting trails, but I've not been running much trail and they'll be sloppy this time of year.

I'll be up for anything man...you choose. I need to find out from Chef what the schedule is, and I'll let you know. Yeah, check your schedule, and find out where you guys are staying. I actually want to catch the bike show as well.
Could wrap up the run with a nice bacon-maple donut(don't know if you're still eating clean or not, I never am), or even a beer.

Felt great to get back on the trails today. Legs are still a little sore, but not bad for only taking two days off from the marathon effort. You felt slow though right? RIGHT?
p.s. we running this weekend or not?

Jebus Chris, only two days off? Yeah I ran three days after my 21 miler, but that was TRAINING pace.

Saw some of the FB photos of you guys meeting up. Looked like fun! Not clicking the warning box. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif)
Forgot to mention that last week's performance was a real confidence booster for training. Squeezed out a 13.1 miler on Friday in 1:53:42. Sub-1:50 here I come!

Thanks Chris.
By the way, you may have noticed that OC has a new medal this year. Run a half/full after Surf City, get the "Double Down" medal. Might sign up depending how I feel after LA.
<<-- Wondering if this noob can handle two marathons 8 weeks apart. Recipe for disaster?
