Let it snow...

Tomorrow marks the longest run in our training program - the big 20. It has been 18 weeks since we started. August 11, the date of our first group run (a whopping 4 miles), brought a high of 91 degrees. I remember running from Weller Park to the McDonalds on the corner of Weller and Montgomery and being so happy that this was our 2 mile mark and we got to turn around and go back. Tomorrow...we start at 6am and are forecasted to be at 19 degrees with a "wintery mix" thrown in. Brrrr. I am in a state of mind mixed with mild panic and excitement. The biggest fight tomorrow won't be the snow, ice, or physical endurance - it will be the mental. It will be about overcoming myself. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
