A bad potential forecast and a lucky break.

 It was supposed to rain for this race.  Initially it looked like thunderstorms at race time, but by race day that was pushed back to 10:30 am.  I had my rain jacket stuffed in my hydration pack just in case, and was dressed in anticipation of getting soaked and maybe a little cold.  It thundered the whole time, but not one drop of rain fell while I was out there which was great!  I did get a bit overheated since I was dressed anticipating some trouble, but dialed back my pace to try to deal with that the best I could.  I love running at North Chagrin, so rain or no, I wasn't going to let weather ruin my fun.
