(image: Jake)Jonathan Page is cleared to race Worlds. I'm very glad. If you've read much of this here blog you know that I'm a big JP fan, and I believe that what happened to him was an honest mistake. Too bad it's already ruined much of his training and race season and he'll be showing up for worlds without the advantage of the full season he'd envisioned.
This morning, Ben cruelly reported 21 degrees as I was getting ready to run. This would be because he didn't hit refresh on his browser to see that it was really 11, with sub-zero windchills. Thanks. I dreaded it but headed out anyway, up LaSalle to Fullerton and back down the Lake Front Path. The LFP was in good shape except between Oak and Ohio, where for about a block it was seriously slippery-scary. Unfortunately, my water bottle froze somewhere in the first 4 miles so not only did I have nothing to drink, I had to carry a heavy full bottle the whole way. #u(k you winter. 11.

Use Gatorade - the salt helps prevent freezing, plus it gives you an energy/hydration boost. Take heart - it's -9 here.
It actually had Clif Shot apple beverage in it- so it was salted. The tops still always freeze. Boo.
i haven't carried water all winter. eff that. i'll stop and buy a water before i carry one in this cold.
julie- it's so exciting to both have the same long runs every week, just like last year!
i am psyched for the Pig. did you book a hotel room or are you guys staying w/ me and d?
Fullerton is like the freakin' suburbs!
They should just send Ben to Worlds next year and avoid the old controversy. And start some new ones.
