brrr!

i guess that the initial excitement of doing a january marathon in phoenix was enough to blind me to the fact that i'd eventually be doing 20 mile runs in terrible weather here in chicago.

but that's exactly what happened on saturday. although it was supposed to miraculously reach into the lower 40's, it never really got much above 25 while i ran, not to mention that stiff west-southwesterly wind keeping me cursing the entire time. no wonder i had the urge to cut off both legs after i finished.

oh well, i guess that there's only one more long run until taper!
