Q: What kind of crazy fool runs in the rain?

A: A mermaid of course.
Today Judith, Annapruna and I, along with a bunch of other crazy ladies, went running in the cold rain at the first annual Mermaid 5k/10k/half-marathon. Judith ran her first 6 miles ever! And I'm pleased to note that this was my first 6 mile injury free run since October! Other than those two milestones, the race itself was not so memorable. It's very cold running with the wind whipping across the wetlands; not to mention kind of smelly. And the tshirt was a very ugly green. And if we aren't running for cute tshirts, then what's the point really?

Judith and Annapruna in the obligatory "action shot". This was taken in the 2.5 seconds that the sun actually came out.



I am wearing at least 7 layers of clothing. Brrrrr........

Road biking in the rain-no so good! :/ Hey, your crazy boy wanted to mountain bike this weekend, I'm sorry I didn't get back to him! Did he get out in the mud and snow? Soon, we'll all go hit the trails.
