Seven team members braved the elements on what had to be one of the toughest days weather-wise of the year. They started in Hopkinton and ran the marathon route, some going up to 20 miles. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) because of my calf injury, I wasn’t with them. Although for the first time ever I did get to see what it’s like to work a water station. Mike, who also missed the run because of a schedule conflict, set up the tent he bought for Patriots tail-gaiting and I’m beginning to think that’s the best investment he’s ever made. We were just past the mile 15 mark for a little over an hour and it poured the entire time. I don’t mind cold, snow, wind, or even rain if it’s above 45 degrees. Running 18 miles in 30-degree driving wind and rain is the worst. Hat’s off to the folks who ran, all of whom looked fantastic when they reached us despite being drenched and cold.
