Singing in the rain...

February 11th, 2007 marked the official start of my tapering for the LA Marathon.

I ran for three hours in the rain, it was fun and miserable at the same time.

I started in the trail and mud stuck to my shoes so that I was more like skating than running. I got off the trail and the rain and asphalt cleansed my shoes better than if I had washed them.

Wet feet, somewhat cold, could not go as fast as I wanted but nevertheless finished in good form.

Onward!
