Looks like the snow arrived. We will go ahead and move to plan C, and postpone the training run to Sunday at 230. We evaluated it and felt the snow, temperature, and driving conditions are just too dangerous. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t try to think of every possibility that could get us out running.
If you don’t think you will be able to make it out tomorrow either, find a way to get in some exercise anyway. Taking the kids sledding, take the dog for a long walk, or a few rounds of push ups and sit ups will get you going. If you have access to a treadmill, try your run and let Varinka know how it goes.
Be careful today, and please email Steve Cobb or Varinka Barbini if you have questions about the run.
What, ive been up since 0330 this morning doing Yoga trying to get my mind right to run in these trecherous conditions. I am deflated I was so pumped up, it would of been the exact conditions I had to suffer through in 67 when I took third in the 2nd annual Sub Arctic Marathon. I ran that race just under 9 hours with a pair of snow shoes and a survival knife. Not to mention I was attacked by a polar bear approximately around the 16 mile mark. I had to set it on fire with a pair of waterproof matches just to get it off of me. It stalked me for the continuing 10 miles but was unable to finish me off. NOW THATS BAD CONDITIONS!!!!
That’s one crazy polar bear!
