The forecast for last Saturday and Sunday was absolutely dismal at 30-70% chance of rain for a solid 48 hours and sub-50° temps. As far as degrees of appeal for conducting a Shawmont long run in certain heat-sapping sogginess, it virtually zeroed them all out. I cast a decisive no-vote. ARGH! On the other hand, it hurt to fathom running no miles until Monday: plus 1 degree of appeal. And a standard Shawmont would be the right distance: plus another degree of appeal. Then, the majority of a Shawmont standard is relatively sheltered from rainfall. And it’s also pretty free from traffic, certainly relative to the neighborhood alternative. And there’s the chance of companionship, even if low. What do you think I did with those degrees of appeal, despite such crappy-looking weather? And with whom?
