Eeek!




The active forecast for Sunday- the Chicago spring half marathon

*I looked at the forecast earlier in the week and only saw cool weather (yay!) and small chance of showers. Now it's rain and wind too*

I don't know what to wear now. Should I wear my Saucony (somewhat) rain proof jacket and capris, or skip the jacket?

The wind won't be fun either. Since it is an out and back course, we can all look forward to the 2nd half (heading north) having 18mph headwinds. (the course is 95% of where I usually train. The headwinds aren't fun.)

Cold rain and wind. Don't like it.

  1. Damn! That does not look like fun! I am hoping that the forecast is wrong and that you have great weather! If not go with the rain jacket!

  2. Great morning for a run! I'm having the same apparel dilema right now too. Don't want to be too cold or wet, and my goodness that wind will be fierce!

    Best of luck to you. Maybe I will see you there!
