    I have never heard of a race in Wisconsin being canceled for ice or snow

    +1. The F3 HM in Chicago in January didn’t cancel last year and I think that was when it was -10000

      I slogged through 5. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow. Have a turkey 2 miler on Thursday

        Last two years I was in Eugene, OR for Thanksgiving. They do not have a dozen different Turkey Trots around there like I’m accustomed to, just mainly one big one. OK there’s another in nearby Springfield, but that’s not my point. My point is that the Eugene Turkey Trot gives you a choice between a 2-mile or a 4-mile. WTF is wrong with a good old 5k?? I don’t race odd distances because I have nothing to compare it to. I did once race something other than the four main distances - my first race was a 10 miler in 2011. So my 10 mile PR is 1:27. I think it’s probably soft.

          I'd probably skip the race if I hadn't convinced URP to sign up as well 

          but the alternative is probably a 20 mile LR anyway so this will switch things up

           

          I can wear screw shoes if I have to but I wanted to wear the next% and I am not putting screws in those!

           

          It makes sense for you to run it, just keep your fingers crossed.

           

          Hells no. I wouldn't even wear them in the rain let alone in snow and salt!

            Ooh, faster than a 5k but slower than a mile. Do it right and you won't feel it until the 1.5 mark. 👍

              I've don't have one in my file, never had any interest in it. Wouldn't mind a 2 miler though, go figure.

                  One of my first races was a 4 miler (supported a program at work). The 2012 one still is my fastest race by pace. Yes, faster than my 5k PR. I can't explain it.

                    Every year I say I’m going to do a 5K on Thanksgiving, but it’s the local run put on by the running club and I always see a lot of people I know. Last year I did the 10K. I’ve actually never done the 2 mile I’ve always done the 10K, but I’m in no shape for a fast 10K and I hate 10Ks anyway

                        Yeah, well if I lived close by, I might be annoyed too. When they were just small neighborhood shops, it wasn't so bad. Now they have customers like Costco, and their ovens are always on.

                         

                        Maybe they could open an bagel factory in an industrial sector of town, and keep the local shops running for their shop customers and surrounding cafes.

                         

                        But thankfully I'm a little over a mile away from the closest of the two.

                                Damn, I wish I could wear them. I would try to go sub-5:00 in the mile. Screw all that other crap!

                                 

                                Well, if I had a wish it wouldn't be that, but you know what I mean..
