I am about to make the sojourn into the great and unknown north to run in upstate New York at Colgate University. The course is very irregular, similar to a mix between Frankfort, Southern (the way it was when Gemberling ran 16:40 there), and even a little bit of Talerico's obnoxious scaling of the far side of the river at AC. I can't wait!
Apparently no one ever takes the first mile faster than 5:30, and the course is also 7800 meters, so I have no idea what to tell you in terms of what times I am trying to hit. I do feel fitter than ever, which is nice. I do not feel very snappy yet, but I've always thought that a little sluggishness helped.
There is no real point to this message. I have no real argument to make or anything to really say, other than the fact that I am running on Saturday morning, and that I will let everyone know how it goes, blow by blow, when I get back on Saturday evening.
The weather is supposed to be between 39-42 degrees, with a Real-Feel of 32-37 degrees, with a 90% chance of rain. It is also supposed to rain 1/4 inch tomorrow night, so this could be cross-country at its finest.
This is one of the many times when I miss XC in Western Maryland. I loved actually being able to feel the fall set it through the vices of wearing short shorts and being nearly naked for no good reason other than to run three miles.
Sounds like in this case, though, I am skipping straight from mild fall to winter. It should be awesome.
That is all, for now. Comment, criticize, communicate if or what you will. GOODNIGHT from a chilly Bethlehem.
