...and ears, and fingers, and toes, etc. It was a frosty five around Land Park this morning. I felt like every joint in my body seized due to the cold. Of course, it's -40 in Minnesota today, so I can't complain too much.
Speaking of weather, mi hermano runs the Scottsdale Rock and Roll Marathon this Sunday. He's done an admirable job getting back into shape and, thanks to two bouts of stomach flu in seven days, he's down to 188 pounds. He's been training in great weather (duh, Arizona in the winter), but there's a warm spell headed his way which threatens to send the mercury up to 75 on the day of the run. 75 is great for golf, but less than ideal for running 26.2 miles. The typical marathoner hopes for mid-40s and cloudy on the day of the run. It will be interesting to see how the flu-impaired training and warm weather impact the run.
Back to the wheel...
