getting ready

Ok, it is 38 degrees and raining .072 inches per hour with an accumulation of .32 inches since midnight. No wind. The weather report calls for periods of rain possibly mixed with snow. I've put so much time and energy into preparing for this race that I can't imagine not doing it. Fallback position is that I run 10 k and then quit, as I'm preparing to do olympic distance triathlons this year, which have a 10 k run. It could be really lonely--will any other slow people show up? My husband and daughter were going to powerwalk the 5 k but not in this weather. The start is at 8 am.
