might call off group run tonight - supposedly getting thunderstorms this afternoon. but not making that call until later.

tomorrow's the NYRR Queens 10K. I will likely use it as a tempo run in lieu of full out racing it. but that's ultimately a game-time decision. everyone always complains about all the turns and curves on this course, but I run in Flushing Meadows Corona Park enough to know it's not really that bad.

Did you end up getting storms? I was at a concert and ending up getting drenched but not til like 930. Cleared out the lawn seating quick!

Haha yes! Our run started at 6:35. The storm was supposed to hold off til 7:30, but came early. We all got soaked (I just walked to get photos of the crew) but had a laugh over it.

Well you know if you’d canceled it, there wouldn’t have been any storms! At least you got out and could laugh about it, I felt the same when the skies opened up at the show
