I'll admit it...I'M A WUSS!!!! ooooh..it was cold and rainy outside, so big bad Marc-E stayed inside and lit a fire in the fireplace. So much for that planned 50 miles this week, unless I do a marathon for a long run on Saturday..at least it isn't supposed to rain! :-)

(I did help coach my boys' baseball practice..which was held inside a gym due to the rain)

Marc, if you're a wuss because of the rain, then I am, too!!! I can't bring myself to run in the rain anymore.
