Tomorrow, Phillyfit will complete its 21 mile distance. This is the longest training miles of the season. After tomorrow it's three weeks of taper and then the full (or half ) marathon on November 20.
Adding to the anticipation and nerves is an approaching storm which - according to local forecasters - will dump anywhere from 1-6 inches of snow on us tomorrow depending on where you are. Right now it looks like the changeover to snow will not happen until late afternoon/early evening. On the surface that appears to be a good thing as we should be well done and home before that. Unfortunately the downside is that for the hours that our group will be on the trail it will be raining and getting colder by the hour. The winds will be start out at breezy and get stronger throughout the morning. Temps will start out in the low 40's and drop from there.
It will be a challenge for all; runners, walkers and support team. The upside; anyone who manages this is seriously ready for anything November 20 could throw at us.
All is ready and will make the best of it. I'll post more tomorrow with the results.
