Not the Mercer Island Half Marathon Report
We were planning to run the Mercer Island Half Marathon this morning. The weather has been cold, rainy and miserable for days, but the forecast called for a 30% chance of showers today. It was raining when we got up, but we got dressed and headed to Mercer Island. As we got closer to Mercer Island, the rain came down harder. As we drove around searching for a parking spot, we saw runners, and they all looked cold and miserable. The rain was coming down even harder than it had at the St Patrick’s Day Dash, and it was 10 degrees colder. We parked the car and got out. Mr Diva looked at me and asked if I was sure I wanted to do this. We decided that 13.1 miles in 40 degree rain was not the way we wanted to spend the morning, so we got back in the car and went home. I was planning to run 13.1 miles later in the day, but settled for 7.7 when I started feeling pain in my left ankle. The racing season is just getting started. We can run a race every weekend, if we feel like it.
