So I just got an email to tell me that my charity team is not going to be running on the Boston Marathon course tomorrow due to the impending snowstorm that's heading our way......bummer! I was getting psyched for another crack at the Newton hills.....
I'm still going to get my 13 miles in tomorrow.......but it will be local instead. While there are hills out here in the western suburbs of Boston, they aren't quite the same as Heartbreak. I know I'll get at least one more shot at those hills before really running the 'thon, so I'm not going to worry about it.
According to Boston.Com, we're in the 4-6" band for tomorrow, but it's not supposed to really come down until 10am, so if I get out early, I might miss the heavy stuff......although it might make my run more EPIC if I get out in some heavy snow, so we'll see. Considering what a ridiculously mild winter it's been here, I've only had one run in the snow, and even that was REAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY light, so it might be fun to have a slightly....er.....um........HEAVIER experience!
I'll let you know how it worked out!
EEEK, sorry to hear that, although great you are still going to get out there...It's blowing ilke crazy here too, just nuts!!!! Be safe out there!
ReplyDeletethanks, Michelle.......safety is key! If it's REALLY coming down, I'll probably bag it....softy that I am! LOL
DeleteUGH...I am such a fair weather runner it's pathetic! I guess I should feel lucky being able to "recover" during this time!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog from Barbara's...i'm a newbie blogger, and I'm a teacher too:)
Hope your run tomorrow is great, and "warm"...will you be doing the virtual run for sherry? I will be walking it...such a sad story~
Be Safe, and looking forward to reading more about you!
hello and welcome! Always glad to meet another teacher....amazing how many of us are runners!
DeleteNo virtual running for me....I'm going to be out there!
Read on!
A lot of local runs got canceled around my parts too. But all we got was a dusting. The sun was even out this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI know.....it was chilly, but the snow wasn't sticking. Not the nicest day ever, but certainly nothing so bad.
