Wow, Jess - good for you! I opted out of running that day because I felt like I was coming down with a cold. I figured that running in cold rain when I was totally unprepared clothing-wise was a bad idea. I flew home that day and spent Sunday and today feeling awful with sore throat, congestion and body aches. Yuck. I'm SO glad I didn't run!

I'm sorry your race was so miserable, but you should be damn proud for even being out there. It was a nasty day - and that's coming from someone who runs in cold rain all winter long! Kudos to you!
