Maybe, I'm just a cold weather marathon, because I suffered at Chicago the last two years.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954352344400574049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341313959062075108.post-88331968464449644332011-12-07T22:54:50.609-06:002011-12-07T22:54:50.609-06:00hey - it's your houston friend from our fav si...hey - it's your houston friend from our fav site ;o) hahah<br />dude, that weather was awful. i woke up that day expecting it to be postponed or that we would do the half. we got the split and my friend was all..."let's just go for it!" - i obliged. around mile 19? she was like..."maybe we should have done the half." yeah, ya think?!<br />here's hoping houston has decent weather!<br />congrats on making the right decision and having a good race still! come join us at B7 sometime.christahttp://www.growingupginsburg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341313959062075108.post-90906563953372128072011-12-05T07:55:43.636-06:002011-12-05T07:55:43.636-06:00Thats horrible Vince!

I never experienced what I did back in January but I gotta say I sure wish I would have splurged for those $46 waterproof mittens at the expo! <br /><br />The temps were awesome obviously, it was just that cold ass rain that was killing everyone out there. Thankfully the 7 day here in Houston shows NO RAIN for this Saturday with temps in the 30's. I'm a happy girl.Junie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007938828024900942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341313959062075108.post-6064731814927235912011-12-05T07:36:27.684-06:002011-12-05T07:36:27.684-06:00I was wrong about the forecast, it did rain!

After the race I found a friend from the Woodlands who had just been released from the medical tent with hypothermia.

Never rain. Always cold as hell though which I love. The rain, had it even been light, I would have continued on. I was suited up and Gu'd up; ready for it. There was just no way I was going through 17 more miles of that knowing full well that I didnt 'have' to. :)Junie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007938828024900942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341313959062075108.post-62939089921095125452011-12-05T04:48:30.366-06:002011-12-05T04:48:30.366-06:00You know, I cannot ever remember going to Dallas i...You know, I cannot ever remember going to Dallas in December, for a race or otherwise, and not had to deal with rain and cold. <br /><br />You survived and that is all that matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341313959062075108.post-82845329177063046192011-12-04T20:18:19.376-06:002011-12-04T20:18:19.376-06:00Holy crap those conditions sounded bad!
