Good luck everyone!

I am running a 30K, but I don't think that I fall into your "crazy" category, since the temps are predicted to be between the high 50s to low 70s.

Upcoming:

Oct. 13 - Towpath Marathon

Good luck, racers!

No race but I am doing a charity snowshoe walk with DW Saturday at Stratton resort in Vermont....my last outdoor activity for a few months.

I had originally thought about it, since there is actually a race to use for one of my Pfitz tune up races this weekend, but it's supposed to be 2 degrees at the start of the race I was thinking about.

It would also require convincing my husband that he wants to take the dog (aka, Captain Carsick McFidgetpants) to the vet by himself, which can be quite an event.

I will more than likely just run a tempo run in place of the tune up race.

My wildly inconsistent PRs:

5k: 24:36 (10/20/12)

10k: 52:01 (4/28/12)

HM: 1:50:09 (10/27/12)

Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)

Thanks! I am excited. Looking out the window right now at work, it is sunny and 70 degrees outside. I am hoping this weather holds and glad to be a Texan right about now.

Upcoming:

Oct. 13 - Towpath Marathon

Finally decided to DNS my 10K Saturday after holding out hope this long. Due to ITBS I have been able to only run THREE friggin cumulative miles in January so even though I have rested for 2 weeks and hope to be healed soon there's no way I can run,run/walk, or even powerwalk this race Sad . Boo. Good luck to all the racers! Have a blast for me!

I may be doing (running? racing? I don't even know yet) the Manhattan half also... I am signed up but to be honest I am balking at the cold (I know, I know... suck it up buttercup etc.)

I've got a 4-mile outdoor run tonight to remind myself that I won't die if I run for in this weather, I'll see how I feel about it after that.

Kristin- Sorry about the ITBS! Hope it is better soon!

Good luck Amy, George, and Scotty!

Thanks. Meghan I think you should get out there and run! I am actually sad that I can't run in this weather, I'm a weirdo but I actually like running in the cold. DO IT! You will be running and working up a sweat and won't turn into an ice cube! If I could physically run right now I would DEFINTIELY be out there running my race, no second thought about the cold! And I live in NYC too so it is the same temp haha
