Final Speed Workout

Short 30 minute run this morning. The final run before the Whistlestop on Saturday. Saturday's weather forecast calls for rain and temperatures in the low 40s. Looks like we will be running in rain pants and jackets - will make things a little tougher than we had hoped. Identified the next Half Marathon! More Magazines Women's Half in Central Park April 2013. Have to give this one serious consideration. Want to stay in shape after training for 3 halves in 2012 (August, October and November).
