Goin' to Alaska

Uh-oh, it looks like it will be pretty warm in Anchorage this Saturday. The high is forecast for 73, which would feel something like 93 while we're running! I hope that it's cooler than that, but as our coaches tell us,

Remember that you have control of virtually every variable related to the race, with the exception of the weather -- but you also have control of how you deal with the weather. Think about every possible scenario and then decide how you will handle it. Remember: you are in control. Own what you can control, plan what you can’t control.

And, drink profusely. Cheers! (no, not that kind of drinking)
