Seven Deadly Shins
Fuck. It's starting to look windy, with N or NNW being somewhat in the face through Brooklyn and up 1st Av.

For the past week it has been REALLY windy here. I run on a path that goes along the water of the Verrazano Narrows and I can tell you that wind has been WHIPPING through that channel like crazy (would be a crosswind while you are in the Vz Bridge and a head wind when you enter Brooklyn). The wind has almost knocked me over and has been so loud howling that it sounds like a hurricane. Once you're off the bridge though, buildings will block it somewhat as 4th ave is quite a bit inland from the water and the path I run on is right along the water. But yeah. If this wind continues it has been rough.

That's it. I don't care what you guys will say, I'm wearing long thermal tights, a tank top, a short-sleeved tee-shirt over the tank and my warmest arm warmers. And a pair of gloves. And a tuque. No, not a tuque, because I have a huge head and I look monstrous with a tuque on. Maybe ear muffs. Yeah, that's it. Ear muffs. And a hockey stick, to represent Canada and to keep anyone from coming too close to me.

I think I'm going to place myself in wave 2, rather than wave 1. It would be more logical since I do not expect a sub-3:30, but rather something close to 4:00. That means a start at 10:05 a.m., So my 7:15 a.m. bus departure should be okay after all. I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I will be alone in a sea of strangers. I'm shy. I can barely speak English when I'm nervous. Why do I do this again? Why am I rambling on like this?
Oh, no! I sound like Andrea!
Not until you start talking about your underwear.

In search of the woolly mammoth I see, awesome!
Bikini undies, like the elites.
What a great place to store an extra poptart!

Sounds great.
I am wearing a LS and gloves, CAPRIS, and a headband that can cover my ears.

So mine is 10lbs less than Lily's.
LOL
But I bet you're carrying your phone. "Hello, Facebook friends? Guess where I am at the moment?"
Maybe I should bring my camera, come to think of it...

Sometimes I feel like I should run with a voice recorder so I can audiotape my RR on the run.
