Silver Lining

Our team has been watching the forecast get warmer and warmer for Saturday's race morning. It was going to be 56 at the start, then 58, then 60. Then, the weather forecasts started talking about wind. Heat and wind? No fair!

Well, this morning I looked at the forecast and it is predicted to be 70 degrees at the start, warming up from there. Are you f-ing kidding me??? I would laugh, except that the wind is also now predicted to be stronger and stronger . Finding the silver lining in the clouds (that aren't even going to be in the sky on Saturday) has been difficult, but I think I see a little shimmer through the gloom and doom of the forecast.

Mother Nature doesn't know that I tend to run faster with a bit of wind. Pair warm weather, my ability to sweat, and a breeze...should feel a bit like an air conditioner, right? Silver lining, indeed. It's not the 'ideal' 48, mostly cloudy, and no wind, but it just might be okay.
