On your mark, get wet...



A close friend of mine who will remain nameless once told me he hated working in the rain because he didn't like getting his underwear wet.  My response to him was don't wear underwear.

Tonight was one of those wet underwear type nights.  Its never easy to get motivated to run when the weather isn't cooperating, but when you know that there are people, perhaps crazy people is more fitting, meeting to run a structured workout in a group setting some how this eases the blow. We had twenty one runners come out tonight and run in the steady rain.  We completed our time trials tonight with a 400.  It wasn't the faster 400 for most of us, but still a good effort under the wet conditions.  

Not afraid of getting wet: 

Allyson, myself, Tim, Hilda, Joe, Eric T, Cory, Anthony, Denise, Kevin, Lindsay, Scott, Matt, Bharminder, Alex, Brian, Rob, Mike, Neil and coming out for their first workout of the season Nick Accardo and Pete Lederer welcome back!
