Chuck - 16.75 - 8:52
40 out of 40. But it wasn't easy. The first problem was trying to figure out when to run. The weather forecast was for thunderstorms all day. About 12:30 I finally decided it was now or never. I didn't really feel great as I started out, but I kept reassuring myself that anything under 9:00 was acceptable.
Ran down Cuming Street to the river, around Gallup and the Qwest Center. I then took 10th street down to I-80 by Rosenblatt Stadium. I headed back west until I got the Field Club trail. Realizing that my route was going to be too short I had to make diverted runs through Dundee, around Memorial Park, and then around my neighborhood a couple of times.
I'm not sure that I have been any wetter on a run. It rained the whole time, and twice it started coming down fairly hard. Only when I was in Memorial Park was there thunder or lightning in the distance. I was also concerned that my GPS may not work if it got too wet. No problems though.
I'm scared of 20 miles!

Wow. Nice.
You should be scared of 20 miles, it's unnatural for the body to do something like that.

That's good to know about the GPS watch, I've always wondered how much water it could take.
