6AM: Cold, dark, rain, hail and wind. These elements made showing up for Tempo Tuesday a bit harder today, but so glad to be expected somewhere or I would have otherwise stayed in bed. Tempo Tuesday will continue to hold its name, even though lately we've just been doing some easy miles since none of us have anything on the calendar for the next while. Kam's been out for a bit due to rigorous nights with his newborn. Andy has consistently showed up, so I have too.
We headed south on LPT. The first mile was touch and go. It seems we almost called it quits a couple of times because the hail and rain were starting to sting. I was especially a baby, even though I was the only one wearing a hat, gloves, and a wind vest ( wind vest, lol!). It eventually let up about half way. I made Andy stop way too many times! At first it was my watch, then my jacket, then a bathroom stop, a shoe adjustment, then I had to sit down and take off my shoe to remove my sock. Any reason to stop, I found it. 8:00ap.
