Back in July and August I'd be licking my lips at the thought of getting to run in temps near 40 with a 90% chance of rain. Fast forward to now with my trying to get over a nasty cold, not so much looking forward to cold and rainy conditions. Of course, all rains are not created equal. Misty rain is most welcome to keep me cool. Sideways stinging rain will be a pain for any part of 13 miles. 90% chance throughout the day seems like I'll be getting some kind of rain. I may run my first race in a windbreaker or maybe even a garbage bag. If all these races were the same, there'd be no adventure.
Chances are I'll be delayed at some point in my air travel this trip. With rain expected tomorrow here in Houston on my flight to Jackson and thunderstorms predicted around my return flight home, delays seem likely. With this being the quick trip that it is, I may end up spending more time in airports than anywhere else. Even with delays, air travel rocks. I wonder how many 50 state runners would be around without air travel. Looking ahead, I mapquested a route from Texas to Rhode Island. I believe you cover 14 states on the trip which would take around 3 days driving 8 hours or so a day? Train travel? You'd have to leave Wednesday to make it in time for a Sunday race. Talk about eating vacation days!
