I finished the 16th week of my training with a two hour run through the pouring rain and heavy wind. It really wasn’t that much fun, although splashing through the puddles felt good. I would call this a “character-building” run. Nobody else was brave enough to be out running, and I actually only saw a handful of pedestrians. The last 5 km was right into the wind, gusting up to 60 km/h. Just two weeks remain until the race.
