I've changed my archive links to a more manageable drop down menu, thanks to Phil.

I ran 15 miles yesterday. Whew. I had wanted to try 20 but I ran out of time. Looking back I was glad I did. I got started late for this time of the year. The sun goes down before 5. It was partly sunny and the temp was around 51 degrees. I started the run and the sun started to go away. By the time I reached the half way point at the Redhook Brewery it started to rain. So I'm was out in Woodinville without running pants (because I thought that the temp would hold) and was getting wet. The temp dropped and halfway back my shoes were soaked. Cold, cold, cold. I had socks for my hands so that wasn't so bad, and I had a bandana for my head. My new wicking shirt did a good job in protecting me from the cold until I was soaked. The only thing I could do was to count the distance left and to keep plodding on. I was out there for about 2:12:00. I know I can go for over two hours now, and nothing broke. It comes out as a slow run but there were extenuating circumstances.
