Weekly Update: August 15, 2009

An Early Start, Wind, Rain & Lightning for 20 miles!

Congratulations! It was a full crew of runners that arrived between 4:30 a.m. - 6:30 a.m. for a long run that challenged all of us. Although we were relieved not to battle the heat, it was a challenge to be prepared to all that we faced from Mother Nature.

I hope that the lessons learned in practice will help everyone in race conditions. Check your race bag for the following essentials: a cap (it keeps the rain off of your face), a water repellent but breathable jacket, gloves, extra fuel (GU and water) and warm clothes for after the run.

"What does not destroy me, makes me strong."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Congratulations Runners. 5 weeks until Top of Utah; 7 weeks until St. George & Portland! You can do it!
