So this is it.
The day before what is forecasted to be the worst storm to hit the New York area in 15 years.

Albeit, I am racing in Boston, and the metro-west suburbs, I intend on what my friend prognosticated to be the "hardest marathon I've ever run". He too, is a marathoner, but was reared on the fields of Cross Country.

I have no doubt that tomorrow will be challenging in ways unforseen today. It will be a firm and valiant battle, between the elements and my own physical limits. But I also know, it will be a memory which I will treasure for the rest of my years. Only the most daunting and dire circumstances, produce the most memorable results, and result in the most triumphant of victories.

The latest forecast is as follows:

"Rain in the morning...then rain likely in the afternoon. Windy with highs in the lower 40s. Southeast winds 20 to 30 mph. Gusts up to 45 mph in the morning. Chance of rain 90 percent."

I only expect challenge, agony, and endurance tomorrow. The rest is in God's hands.

See you soon.
