Insanity or dedication? Both. If it weren't for the ice, I'd be out there too! But I am getting used to the treadmill. Its something you have to ease into. And you won my virtual race BTW. So I use a LOT of visualization when I'm on one of those things for 8 miles!

The hardest thing about running in the rain is taking that first step out the door! Training in adverse conditions helps prepare you for adverse conditions during the race. Distance runners have to be both dedicated and a bit insane :D

Had my first half marathon this Sunday in the rain. I was so scared that it was going to be a total dowpour the entire time, but ended up with just light showers off and on. Not bad, and the run went great. Glad you had a good one, too (to, ahem, make this comment not ALL about me, LOL!).

Insanity all the way. To quote my sister "you're an idiot". But heck, that's what makes us awesome women, right? Strangers look to us for inspiration. Way to go on your determination--I love being (electronically) surrounded by such strong women!

i know ... it was crazy. there was a point at which i was just laughing at the absurdity of running in that weather. but as cold as i was and as much as i wanted to be home ... i wanted a good long run even more. and if i look past the misery of the cold & rain, it was actually a really, really good run.

It's sick, I know, but I actually love getting stares from people when I'm out running in bad weather. The stares that say, "are you crazy??". Because, hell yeah, you better believe I'm crazy. And oh yeah... I'm also a marathoner.

Way to go, ya crazy thang.

That's EXACTLY how I felt last Sunday! There actually were a few other crazies running in that stuff, but it sure wasn't fun. Good for you!

Do you really want to know what I think??? Nuts ... that is what you are... but I love it!!! So many of us crazies out there... isn't it great?

No treadmill for you!!
