Something of Slight Substance (SOSS)

He wasn't expecting a stellar workout. Just something that's better than nothing, otherwise known as a Something of Slight Substance (SOSS) run, since it's only four days till Akron. But even that ain't happening. The run starts at the same time as a slight drizzle. That light rain gradually becomes more and more substantial however. His friends are here, but they are not feeling it today, either. After hardly even getting started, he is done for the day. At least on the track.

He hates the mill. But it may be the only chance at salvation given this now-heavy rain. He drives home and steps on his old, trusty True. 4 by 1200 is the plan. You know. The one that just popped into his head. He does manage to do them, and even one more. As he finishes up, he thinks, this whole morning turns out to be not too very terribly awful.

Just Something of Slight Substance.
