It has been raining on and off for about two days. We were scheduled to do 8 X 400 sprints today. Knowing that Deb never walks in the rain, especially when it is cold outside, I anticipated not going to the park […]

It was pouring and I wanted to get in a couple of easy miles, so I walked to the library. The umbrella didn’t make much difference. Though my hair was dry, I was soaked to above my knees. I’m hoping a couple […]
