scott will be whipping us on those H-wets

this week hasn't been too bad, decent cloud cover. we could have been running 33's on monday at noon, 73 degrees

88 would be fantastic, the early afternoon runs still might be decently fast

Yep, and I have ABS now!

I was telling the wife that Jody doesn't run in the rain, she was like, 'what about you?'

Yep, for a $5 trophy, it's not worth the increased risk for me to go out in the rain. Even if I do everything perfectly, the chances of someone else messing up and involving me increases exponentially.

Wasn't there a lot of carnage in the June races?
