      Due to schedule conflicts this weekend is it possible that I do the race today? If not guess I'll be in next month

        December's Virtual Race dates are Dec 2-3. If possible, try to run a race or time trial on that weekend. If you can't, then just submit a race time from within the last month. Half marathon and marathon race distances don't need to be run this particular weekend - just within the last month.

            Heh, so I had actually been thinking that I might just feel up to a shortish race...but I'd have to find someplace indoors to run it, apparently, since our roads show no sign of being very runable in the foreseeable future. I'm already feeling antsy because I have not managed a long run in 3 weeks. Ack! Tongue k

              Put on your skis and head out there, ZZ! We can have a skiing division if you like...

                Hah, that would be cool! Unfortunately my ski boots don't fit (got the set when I was 13--skis and poles are still in great shape, but the boots are too small and the bindings are rusted and need to be replaced, too. I may see if I can find some good sales after the holidays on ski stuff). Otherwise I would be tempted. Though this snow isn't even good for skiing. It's wet and sticky and would be probably a lot harder than just running through it with shoes on, LOL. k

                    Hmmm...I suppose I could always walk 13.1 miles. I wonder how long that would take. I have a feeling I would come home VERY wet and cold after 3+ hours. Big grin k
