The lesser of two evils

I realize this phrase is usually the realm of politics, and this would be a good time to talk about this country's stupid politicians, but I'm too tired to be bothered.  I made the choice of not doing my normal longer run on Saturday and instead do a neighborhood run today.  The choice was between torrential rain and cold and wind (tomorrow) or cold and super windy (today), and I chose what is the lesser of two evils to my weary body and mind, and chose to run today.

Maybe someday I'll delve into politics.  But not today.

Today's Run

I ran the 3.5 mile, up the Big Hill route in my neighborhood today.  I tried to use my cheapy watch to figure out my pace going up the Big Hill, but the value I got seemed way off, so I'm not going to trust it and will try to get it the next time I go on this route.  The sustained winds during my run was about 25 mph, with gusts upwards of 40 mph.  Needless to say there were times when it felt like I was standing still.  But if the forecast holds out and it is raining tomorrow along with the wind and cold, I feel like I made the right choice.  Today I ran about 3.5 miles in approximately 32:00, for an average pace of 8:57.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow I will be pissed.
