My iPod was loaded, I had scraped the muck off my shoes from a previous run, two Clif Shots were in my pockets and my bag was packed with a change of clothes for our lunch.  My darling&#8217;s big toe was bothering him, and when he put on his running shoes the pain worsened.  He tried a quick jog up and down our street, but it was obvious he wouldn&#8217;t be able to make it one mile, let alone 12.  Looked like I&#8217;d be doing a solo run.<\/p>\n<p>While it had been drizzling for at least an hour, at that moment the torrential downpour began.  So, not only would I be going at it alone, I&#8217;d be soaked to the bone in the end.  NOT my idea of a good time.<\/p>\n<p>I know if I&#8217;m to make it to Boston I can&#8217;t let circumstances like this keep me from running.  But considering I also had to make a bunch of turkey to take up to Whistler for Thanksgiving, I figured I could put the run off until tomorrow (Wunderground predicts the weather will be better) and focus my attention on brining the turkey and making stock for the gravy.
