Flying Pirate - Arrrrgh!

We are scheduled to run the Flying Pirate in the morning, and there is a 100% change of rain. It is rare for meteorologists to be so precise!  I recall that the last race I ran, posted on this blog, was also a rain event.  I blamed that on the Methodists who ran with me, but now it is beginning to look like I am the culprit and am standing in the need of full-immersion baptism.

That lovely band of green is headed inexorably in our direction, and barring some sudden shift in the upper level atmosphere it will arrive in the form of 1" to 2"of rain during the race, with the full 100% likelihood happening when we should be at the finish line.  It does not sound like we will be sitting out in a big field in the morning sunshine listening to the rock-n-roll band at the end of the race as we did two years ago!

Martha's daily calendar for today had this lovely sentiment:

"The changes in the weather and the seasons do affect us, whether we want to admit it or not.  Notice what  the weather is saying to you today."

I know what it will be saying to us tomorrow:

"Stay home!"

"You don't have enough sense to get out of the rain!"

Or maybe just:   "Arrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!"
