Fitness Friday: winter came too early

Grand Rapids, Michigan just broke its 1895 record for the snowiest November on record, and we still have 9 days left.  The last total I saw was 28.5 inches, which is still about 56 inches less than Buffalo, so I guess I can be thankful I don't live there.

Now they are predicting a warm-up this weekend with freezing rain to go on top of all this snow.

I'm really not ready for this.  I'd wave the white flag but I'm afraid no one would see it behind the mounds of white crap we already have.

Thankful Thursday: Winter Runs

Today I'm giving thanks that I own YakTrax. As much as I hate them, I'm going to need them this weekend. This was the scene from my driveway this morning:

And this is what's predicted by tomorrow night - yep, I'm right on that line between 4-8" and 8-12":

Hopefully the YakTrax don't clash too much with my skirt.  On the bright side, if I fall into a snow bank, with the amount of orange and yellow I'm wearing and the fact the course is a series of loops, someone should find me before I turn into a Bari-sicle.

Recap next week if I survive.

Anyone else running or racing this weekend?
