At 5:30AM on Saturday morning, Coach Jack posted on the team Facebook page – the training run was a go.  Just as well.

The Boston Marathon is now five weeks away and as a proud member of the gasping geezers division of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team, I knew we needed to get in a long run.  Between Covid and the weather, training has not exactly been easy.  On Saturday, the forecast was for rain with the possibility of torrential downpours.  But getting wet on Saturday was a better choice than waiting any longer for ideal training conditions.  Sometimes, despite adverse conditions and uncertainty, you just have to get going.
